Dogs have always used tail wagging as a way to express their feelings, often reflecting positive emotions. A tail that moves enthusiastically is usually a sign of a happy dog. On the contrary, when a dog is sad or feels neglected, its tail movements become minimal and hard to notice.
A Delightful Surprise
Imagine a dog so happy that not only its tail but its entire body vibrates with joy. This was the case with one special dog who received a remarkable gift from her owner. Her excitement was so overwhelming that it became a whole performance once her owner decided to capture the moment on video.
Canine Shakira: A Dancing Sensation
In a delightful display of joy, the Labrador Retriever known as Peggy became a sensation. Peggy, owned by Jess and Isaac, was always a cheerful dog. Her breed is known for its love of carrying items in their mouths, but Peggy had another passion—dancing.

Whenever Peggy felt joy, she couldn’t stay still; her body would burst into spontaneous dance. Recognizing this, Jess decided to enhance her beloved pet’s happiness with a special gift—a dancing skirt. The moment Peggy saw the skirt, she was ecstatic, but the real magic happened when Jess dressed her in it.
Dancing Like a Star
Once adorned in her new skirt, Peggy couldn’t control herself. Her movements reminded Jess of Shakira’s iconic dances. Captivated by this adorable sight, Jess filmed Peggy’s dance and shared it on Instagram. The video, aptly titled “have you ever seen a wigglier butt?” featured Peggy showing off her sophisticated dance moves on the couch. She wagged her tail and exuded a level of positive energy that was simply contagious.
A caption accompanying the video read: “Happy wiggle butt Wednesday friends. I had to do it, I was officially sent the OG reel by @chocolatelabradori far too many times…so in a half-asleep state the other night I placed an order online and, here we are…she kept ending up shaking so hard the skirt was falling off of her…”
Audience Dancing With Her
At the end of the video, Jess playfully asked her followers: “who needed to see the goblin ear/wiggle butt + dancing skirt combo?” The response was overwhelming. In no time, the video garnered millions of views and countless reactions, proving that Peggy’s dance was a much-needed dose of joy for many.
A Social Media Hit
The comments section of Peggy’s video was a testament to her impact. One user exclaimed, “Stop doing this to animals 🙅♂️ They’ll start to feel ✨BONITA✨, slay 👄 and coordinated a world domination 🌎🎚️,” while another joked, “Giving Shakira a run for her money! 😂.” A third commenter said, “Loved and totally needed this…please tell her thank you for the mood lifting giggle✌️😍.”
More Than Just a Dancing Dog
This story of Peggy is not just about a dog dancing in a skirt. It highlights how dogs, like humans, have unique talents and quirks that bring joy not only to their owners but also to a wider audience. Peggy’s ability to dance and express her joy so vividly reminds us of the deeper emotional capacities of our canine friends.
The Future of Canine Performances
