There’s something magical about seeing the world through a puppy’s eyes — every leaf is a toy, every sound is an adventure, and every nap is a full-blown life event.
For Poe, a chubby-cheeked American Bulldog with rolls for days and a heart as big as his paws, life has been nothing short of hilarious since joining his new family.
He’s only been home for a month, but he’s already racked up a highlight reel of adorable firsts that have taken social media by storm.
His mom, clearly a creative genius with a great sense of humor, decided to document all these moments in a playful way: by rating every milestone on camera.
What could have been a simple puppy diary turned into a viral sensation that dog lovers can’t get enough of.
The now-viral clip begins with Poe fast asleep in his mom’s arms — a peaceful, snoring ball of wrinkles — as the onscreen text reads: “Rating my puppy’s first month home.” From there, the fun begins.
His first encounter with the family cat doesn’t exactly go as planned. The skeptical feline stares him down while Poe bumbles forward, tail wagging.
It’s awkward, funny, and oh-so-real. The verdict? A frosty 1 out of 10 — clearly, cat diplomacy will take some work.
Next up, Poe takes his curiosity outdoors. He sniffs every blade of grass, munches on leaves, and discovers the joy of digging.
His mom gives this wholesome chaos a well-deserved 8 out of 10. Then comes one of Poe’s favorite pastimes: napping.
Whether he’s dozing on the couch, belly-up on the floor, or snuggled in his bed, his naps are pure art. Those get an undisputed 10 out of 10, of course.
But not every moment is smooth sailing. When his mom tries to set him in the playpen for some quiet time, Poe is not having it.
He grumbles, whines, and gives her the saddest puppy eyes imaginable. That one earns a dramatic -1000 out of 10. (The internet agrees — no one likes playpen time.)
Then there’s his sassy side. In one clip, Poe bounces and barks with full toddler attitude, earning a modest 3 out of 10.
But his redemption arc arrives moments later when his mom surprises him with a pup cup at the drive-through.
As soon as the whipped cream hits his nose, his eyes light up with uncontainable joy. That’s an easy 100 out of 10 moment — and arguably the peak of his first month home.
Rounding out the montage are snippets of beach days, splash sessions with the garden hose, and fetch attempts that end in goofy tumbles.
Every clip captures that perfect blend of puppy innocence and clumsy enthusiasm.
Viewers can’t get enough of Poe’s antics. Comments flood in by the hundreds: “So stinkin’ cute,” “Look at those rolls,” and “The tummy deserves its own rating.”
Others praise the idea itself — rating puppyhood as if it’s a mini sitcom. And in a way, it is.
Because through Poe’s story, you’re reminded that the smallest moments — the naps, the mischief, the wagging tails — are the ones that matter most.
Whether it’s a 1/10 cat standoff or a 100/10 pup cup victory, every day is an adventure worth celebrating when you’re seeing life through a puppy’s eyes.
