The internet is swooning over a pack of hopeful pups who decided the newest (and tiniest) member of their family might just be their next fetch partner.
In a TikTok clip shared by Kenneth Ray Prince (@kennyprince1), Arlo the Australian shepherd confidently trots up to his 4-month-old granddaughter, drops a ball into her baby bouncer, and waits with puppy-eyed optimism.

The on-screen text jokes: “See if the new hooman will throw it!”
And Arlo’s not alone. Corgi Archer, Border collie Beat, and Maltipoo Murphy are all ready for their turn with the pint-sized “teammate.”
Looks like these furry friends have officially found their most adorable recruit yet.
Sure, the dogs’ persistence is adorable, but it’s also in their DNA. Australian shepherds, corgis, and Border collies are herding breeds, built to work closely with humans and quick to chase movement. All this makes fetch irresistible.
They’re also surprisingly socially savvy. Research shows dogs can tell the difference between adults and kids, often tweaking their behavior accordingly. (Though their play drive can easily override any caution.)
And that ball-dropping routine? It’s canine social coaching. It’s their way of saying, “Come on, you can do it! Let’s play!”
While this video has gone viral, the comments are just as fun. Here are some favorites:
- “Did they have a group meeting before walking over😂”
- “The corgi giving orders and the aussie carrying out the tasks is so accurate.”
- 😂 “Look at them all waiting”🥰
Baby girl may not be able to throw a ball just yet, but with her furry fan club waiting in the wings, she’ll have no shortage of eager playmates when the time comes.
