A Great Dane called Cooper has left the internet in stitches after a video of his antics while out camping with his family went viral on social media.
In the clip, shared on TikTok by the dog’s owner under the username Ourgreatdanecooper, the pup can be seen speeding through his owners’ tent, as both the owners and their other dog try to stop him without success.
The hilarious clip comes with a caption that reads: “We are going camping with Cooper next week, based on this video of his first time in the tent, we can’t wait.”

Great Danes are among the tallest dogs in the world. In fact, according to the American Kennel Club, a male Great Dane can reach up to 32 inches and weigh a massive 175 pounds, while females are slightly smaller, growing up to 30 inches and 140 pounds. Both males and females can tower over many humans when they stand on their hind legs.
For this breed, daily exercise is a must, and as adults, Great Danes make great jogging companions, although the AKC warns that it’s important to wait until they’re at least two years old before taking them for a run, as running before then can damage their bones.
Despite their size, Great Danes need lots of affection and socialization with people and other animals, making them great family pets, according to the AKC.
The video quickly went viral on social media attracting animal lovers from across the country. It has so far received over 140,400 views and 13,300 likes on TikTok.
One user, mog12712, commented: “You need to add the ‘so much room for activities’ sound!” User hayleyH said: “I think you’d best let Cooper have the tent, and you guys get a caravan.” Tay Louise added: “I want to take bets on him taking the tent down before the weekend’s over.”
