A Golden Retriever Literally Leaps for Joy When He Wants a 'Puppuccino'
Even Golden Retrievers love getting a sweet treat once in a while!
In a TikTok video, an adorable dog named Winston shows just how much he loves getting "pupperchinos" with his dad during a walk. In the video, every time his dad mentioned getting the sweet treat, he would leap with excitement during the walk.

His leaps also seemed to frighten some of the birds that were on his walking path, but it didn't stop him from the joy he felt at possibly getting a "pupperchino" afterward.
In the caption, his dad joked, "I think my frog is broken ," because of Winston's adorable leaps.
The internet was also obsessed with Winston's adorable leaps, with some users joking that Winston is actually a "kangaroo" that loves to leap up into the air.
"I don't know… I think he wants a puppuccino, but I can't tell ," one person joked at his enthusiastic leaps. Another user added, "He's collecting the Mario coins to pay for the puppachino! KEEP GOING BUD!!!"
Others joked that he might actually be a frog and wrote, "Your pet frog is really cute." One user even said, "Your kangaroo seems really friendly."

Are 'Pupperchinos safe for dogs?
A "pupperchino," also known as a pup cup, is a small cup of whipped cream that dog parents can get for their dogs at coffee shops like Starbucks. Dog parents will typically treat their pets to the sweet treat during their own coffee run, which led to the adorable nickname.
While pup cups may be a fun little treat to give dogs once in a while, they might not be an ideal snack for them all the time.
According to Vetnique, "whipped cream is not dangerous for dogs," but many dogs are actually lactose intolerant, which means "they cannot properly digest dairy products."
"Dogs with lactose intolerance may experience gas, bloating, diarrhea, or general discomfort after consuming whipped cream," they explain. "Some lactose-intolerant dogs can still tolerate small amounts of dairy without noticeable issues, but you should watch your dog closely after their first Puppuccino to see how they react."
The best alternative is to make "pupperchinos" at home with ingredients that won't upset your dog's stomach. Vetnique reccomends using "unsweetened coconut milk, a swirl of plain pumpkin purée, or a sprinkle of cinnamon" to make something nutritional that a dog can still enjoy without the possibility of an upset stomach afterward.
