A dog named Hugo has melted hearts all over the internet after a video of him finding “treasure” during one of his daily walks went viral on social media earlier this week.
In a viral clip shared on TikTok Tuesday by the dog’s owner, who goes by the username Hugotheshark, the cocker spaniel can be seen walking past a yard sale and immediately picking up the koala bear toy he’s been refusing to let go of all day. .
“In Denmark, people sell things by putting them on the street, and some local kids were selling their toys as we walked past. Hugo fell in love with a koala bear. The sign: said the toys cost 10 Crore ($1.24) and there was a mobile number so I sent them the money.
“He was so pleased with himself and took it all the way home. He couldn’t really believe he was allowed to keep it.”
The video ends with Hugo taking the koala to sleep and is captioned:
According to the animal health experts at Wag!, there are many reasons why dogs love to play with stuffed toys. This may be because of their instinct to hunt and kill, inherited from their wolf ancestors. It could be that they are carrying toys as a sign that they want to play with you. And for female dogs, it can also be one of the first signs of false pregnancy.
The video quickly went viral on TikTok, attracting animal lovers from across the platform. It has so far garnered over 2.5 million views and 492,000 likes.

Francesca Johnson wrote: “My cocker spaniel, Buddy, would randomly latch on to a certain toy, we call them his babies.” And stuckinthemiddlenomore added: “It’s so amazing that there are places in this world where people can trust others enough to leave direct sales items unattended. American Cry.” BrenW said: “He found a treasure on his walk and he’s so proud.”
Another user, Olivia, commented: “How many eyes when you try to pick up a koala?” And Ashley Cortez said: “Aww, he even fell asleep cuddling a koala!” Lex added. “My dog also has a koala that he loves very much. He tore out the eyes and nose, but I think I’ll have to embroider.”
