Dog Sighting in Colorado 

The next YouTube video posted at the top of this blog post takes us to Colorado. We see the dog who walks on two feet! This video was shared by the Good Morning America YouTube page. This channel is a weekly newscast that shares breaking news, expert analysis, helpful advice for daily living, and amazing recipes according to their mission. Good Morning America shares a short description of what this next video is about below. 

“The 8-year-old Brittany has walked on his hind legs since he was a puppy, when he was injured in an accident.” 

The Dog Who Walks Everywhere On Two Feet

At the start of this YouTube video shown just above, we see Dexter. He is the Brittany dog who is walking on two feet. The video then backs up to us being able to see his owner so she can share the story of what happened with Dexter. She explains that Dexter was adopted with four legs. And they wanted a Brittany dog because they are good with families.

Sadly, when he was just a young pup, Dexter got out and ran into the street, as many young and inexperienced dogs do. He was in a horrible accident and ran into a moving van. Just his front legs were injured, “After staying with the vet and undergoing surgery, Dexter returned home to begin rehab with his family.” 

As time went on with Dexter being in his cast, he had to learn the use of his other legs. Shockingly, one day, Dexter stood upright and walked up the porch steps! And that started his amazing journey, with walking everywhere on two legs! At this point, we are convinced we haven’t seen anything on the internet this adorable!

How Big Are Brittany Dogs?

Brittany (Canis lupus) dogs are of the family Canidae, and they can be found mostly throughout Europe. As Dexter’s owner stated in the video above, Brittany’s dogs are very family-friendly and are a great addition to the love you need in your life.

Brittany dogs are the perfect size as well; they weigh approximately 30-40 pounds at full maturity. Now, we can’t promise you that the Brittany dog you get will walk on two feet, like Dexter, but we think the love they will show you will be enough for you!
