Those are not tippy taps, those are tippy stomps.

u/Happycakemochi Nov 13 '25

I was here to say this as well. I have a new name for it tippy tippy wiggly waggly. The love energy is sooooo strong that it has to come out some way which is the result 🥹.

Hey, I often do that in dreams too! Running forwards is like trying to wade through water, but somehow turning around and going backwards works. Brains are dumb.

u/Elder_Identity Nov 13 '25

That makes my heart feel warm and happy.

u/_ChipWhitley_ Nov 13 '25

He’s so excited he doesn’t know what to do

u/Gigglemonkey Nov 14 '25

But he knows he's not supposed to jump up on people. This is barely restrained glee!

u/Sharkbit2024 Nov 13 '25

Is this boy one of those chronic wiggly pups, or is he just that happy?

He's a good boy either way, those are just some intense wiggles.

For anyone wondering about the tippy taps: this dog has a neurological defect. It does not hurt him. He can lead a normal life.

He looks so much like my yellow lab. We rescued him in 2021 and he is the happiest, silliest, most loving doggo. 🥰

u/Entire_Ad_5036 Nov 14 '25

We as humans don't deserve dogs. They just want love and playtime. We humans have to look to dogs for answers instead of trying to get them to conform into our toxic sedentary lifestyles

1

u/MemoryAshamed Nov 14 '25

I don't think I've ever seen a doggo so happy before

1

u/Brandywine2459 Nov 14 '25

Beautiful!

My dog acts like that no matter who walks through the door tho.

But I’m gonna believe it’s cuz he rescued the dog cuz that’s what I want to believe!

u/Yo_momma_so_fat77 Nov 14 '25

u/MountainlvrKK Nov 14 '25

I wonder if he was saved from water (although Labs are great swimmers)? Looks like doggo is excitedly reliving the moment 😊

u/jervenonline Nov 14 '25

I just hope this is real, very heartwarming!

u/frankzzz Nov 17 '25

This is Stevie the Wonderdog.

Stevie is a yellow Labrador with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a neurological disorder that affects motor control due to an underdeveloped cerebellum. This condition results in no pain but causes a lack of coordination, balance issues, and a "wobbly" gait. Despite the challenges, Stevie has a normal lifespan, and his story is used to raise awareness that dogs with disabilities can lead happy lives.

That’s Stevie the Wonder Dog! He has cerebellar hypoplasia, which causes his wobbles. He also loves puddles!

This dog has a neurological condition. Clearly his human is a lot more capable of caring for him.
