Dog's Joy After Getting Pizza Crusts Shows Why They Are Life Essentials

A social media video that captures a dog's "happy dance" after nabbing a bit of pizza crust from her owner's kitchen has delighted users on the internet.

The viral video, which has been viewed more 5,000 times since it was first shared to TikTok on December 12, introduced TikTokers to "special" 2-year-old Okami and her love of pizza crust.

"Okami loves a good treat. Most of the time I give her dog treats, but occasionally she gets some tasty human food too. I noticed when she was little, she would sometimes drop the food on the floor and do a happy dance around it before scoffing it down. I think it's so funny every time," Minna Moffatt, Okami's owner, told Newsweek.

"I can never tell which treat is going to set off a happy dance so I started to record some of the treats hoping to catch one, and a pizza crust did the trick. I uploaded it to TikTok to hopefully make some other people smile at her silliness, just as she brightens all of my days being a goofball," she added.

The 30-year-old based in South Wales in the U.K. experienced "love at first sight" when she set her eyes on Okami as a puppy, nearly three years ago. She decided to take the pup home, determined to "give her the best life" possible.

Moffatt began teaching her pup new tricks and entering her into canine competitions, where she would frequently win ribbon-topped prizes. Okami, who is an Australian kelpie and border collie cross will turn 3 on December 29.

"She comes from a strong line of working dogs, and because of this she's incredibly intelligent. She has lots and lots of funny tricks and I'm constantly teaching her new things to help keep her mind as active as possible," Moffatt said.

"I originally started using TikTok as a place to upload videos of Okami growing up and her adventures. It's a fantastic way of documenting your memories with your pets and sometimes other people might find some enjoyment too," she added.

The post had been captioned: "Anyone else's dog do a dance when they get a treat?"
