Hilarious Video of Huge Mastiff Who Keeps Getting ‘Stuck’ Is Making People’s Day
If you need a good laugh, this video of this huge dog getting 'stuck' around the house will do it. Bowser is an English Mastiff, and he seems to understand that he's a very big boy. His mom shared a video in mid-November of a few different times he's gotten stuck and had to bark to get her attention and help. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a while!
It starts with Bowser stuck in the bathroom. He walked in and got himself 'stuck' between the door and the toilet. Lucky for him, Mom walks him through how to get out of the precarious situation. Next up, Bowser somehow has to figure out how to get around a bat lying on the floor. The third situation shows us Bowser back in the bathroom, and the reason why he's stuck this time is the funniest one yet!
Talk about big dog problems! Poor Bowser doesn't realize all he had to do was walk backwards to get out of the bathroom or that he could walk over the bat or even around it. His mom has shared several videos like this one, and they all crack me up!
Commenters also got a kick out of the Mastiff getting stuck. @Bridgette R pointed out, "Aww, he had his tail between his legs showing how his nerves were upside down. He’s so loveable!" I laughed when @Derrick said, "Bowser does not come equipped with reverse." and @Cowboys20 added, "He needed the beep beep LOL!" Another commenter shared, "Haha my 200-pound Saint Bernard does that too, it’s so funny!" Several other commenters shared similar stories of their big, tough dogs as well! My mom and dad have a Cane Corso; I'm going to have to ask if she does this, too!
Loveable English Mastiffs
English Mastiffs are huge dogs as you can see from Bowser's video. Males average about 30 inches in height and 160-230 pounds in weight, while females stand 27.5 inches high and 120-170 pounds in weight. The funny thing about Mastiffs is that they have no idea how big they really are. My mom and dad's dog thinks she's a lap dog...imagine having a 170-pound dog try to jump on your lap!
Because of their size and intimidating look, English (really all) Mastiffs make great guard dogs. They love their humans and are extremely loyal and protective of them. They do not bark a lot, so when they do bark, it's a sign that something or someone is in their territory and needs to be checked out.
English Mastiffs are naturally gentle and calm and rarely get aggressive. They get along well with other dogs, cats, and even close family and friends they're used to seeing around. They also get along well with children of all ages, but due to their size, smaller children and babies need to be watched around them. If a Mastiff accidentally bumps into a little one, they're probably going to end up on the ground!
There's always cons with every breed, and for these dogs a few worth mentioning are that they drool excessively, they are heavy shedders, and that they are known to have some pretty significant health issues, like hip dysplasia. As with any time you're considering bringing home a new pet, make sure to do your research to learn the good, the bad, and the ugly about them so you can determine if they fit your family's lifestyle and if you can handle their needs.
