If you’ve ever raised a puppy, you’ll know it’s a whirlwind of sweet moments, chewed-up shoes, and constant learning for both the dog and you. While each breed brings its own quirks, Pit Bulls are especially known for their mix of goofiness, energy, and deep loyalty. One Instagram video is now going viral for perfectly summing up what it’s like to raise one, and Pit Bull parents everywhere are saying it hits way too close to home.
Video shows what it’s like to raise a Pit Bull
Posted by Instagram user @knight_thepit, the video chronicles the growth of a Pit Bull named Stormi from a tiny pup to a loyal companion. The video starts with a caption that reads, “The stages of owning a pit bull puppy,” and what follows is a hilarious and heartwarming journey through three distinct phases.
The owner affectionately describes the first phase as “the sweetest baby” stage. In these opening moments, viewers see a tiny Stormi, curled up and completely innocent. The footage captures her calmly exploring her world, napping in the arms of her owner, and snuggling up for cozy moments.
Next, the video transitions to the phase dubbed “Piranha / hungry hippo phase.” It’s a hilarious and accurate description of what happens when puppies hit that hyperactive, nibbly stage. Stormi begins chewing on everything she can get her paws on, from her owner’s hand to furniture, while also showing her newfound energy by zooming around the house and playing with her furry sibling.
Finally, the video moves to stage three: “The best friend you could ever ask for.” This phase shows Stormi as a more mature and calm dog, peacefully sitting in her owner’s lap at the beach. The duo enjoys a quiet moment together, with Stormi looking content and at ease, embodying the loving and loyal companion that she has become.
At the time of writing, the video has gained nearly 2 million views and 223K likes. Many shared their own experiences of raising Pit Bulls. “We’re in the piranha phase now… send help,” one user joked. Another wrote, “This is literally my pit bull’s life story, word for word.” Others simply commented with hearts or laughing emojis, relating hard to the emotional rollercoaster.
