Curiosity is practically part of a dog’s personality. From sniffing every new object to the sound of a snack bag opening, dogs love learning about their surroundings. They approach new situations with a mix of caution, excitement, and plenty of nose-led investigation. That same curiosity recently stole the spotlight in an Instagram video where a Pit Bull named Spud takes a close look at his owner’s day-old baby chicks.
Dog is very invested in the baby chicks owners brought home
The short video by @spudsymutt offers a clever perspective on Spud’s interaction with the chicks. Text on the screen reads, “POV: You’re a day-old chick getting your daily checkup.” The owner positions the camera inside the chicks’ enclosure, creating the illusion that viewers are seeing the scene through the eyes of one of the tiny birds.
As the clip begins, Spud gently lowers his head over the edge of the box where the chicks are resting. In the warm red glow of a heat lamp that keeps the hatchlings comfortable, the curious dog peers inside with focused attention. His large face fills the frame as he watches the tiny birds move around below.
Rather than showing excitement or rough play, Spud appears calm and observant. He looks down at the chicks as if making sure everything is in order, occasionally shifting his head to get a better look. His gentle posture makes it clear that he’s interested in the new arrivals but is also being cautious.
The clip’s caption adds a humorous touch, reading, “The life of Spud’s baby chicks.” The phrase suggests that the dog has taken it upon himself to supervise the newest members of the household.
The clip has drawn plenty of amused reactions from viewers. Many praised the creative camera placement that makes the moment feel immersive. One commenter joked, “This is how mythologies start. Those chicks think he’s their god now.” Others appreciated the perspective of the video itself. One user wrote, “Thank you for this camera angle!!!!!!” while another quipped, “I identify as a baby chick, just to have Spudsy look at me like that.”
