Introducing Howard, a 5-month-old Great Dane who is still getting adjusted to his rapidly expanding frame.
According to Howard’s mother Ellen MacKenzie, “He’s all legs right now.” He’s still attempting to understand how those operate.
So far, Howard has mastered a few pastimes, like gently strolling with his mother through dog-friendly establishments and swimming in Lake Superior.
However, he still needs to practice sitting elegantly in a moving or parked car.
Even though Howard has complete control of the back seat when traveling by automobile, the inquisitive dog enjoys exploring other areas of the car.
He jumps into the front seat with gusto if the car is stopped and his safety belt is not fastened.
Howard enjoys putting his head out the open sunroof while the car is in motion and standing on all fours.
When he opens his mouth to speak, all you can see are his ears and chops moving in the breeze, according to MacKenzie.
Howard also likes to reach over the back seat to get a whiff of whatever is in the trunk if the privacy screen in the hatchback is missing. His large front legs flop over the barrier when something smells particularly nice, leaving his hind legs dangling over the back seat.
When this occurs, MacKenzie is aware that she only has a short window of time before Howard consumes whatever lures him back there.
Because of this, one day after loading the trunk with groceries, she hurriedly began yelling Howard’s name when she glanced over her shoulder and noticed a pair of Great Dane legs floating in the back.
MacKenzie stated, “I didn’t want him to get into the bread bag. I simply kept shouting, “Howard! Escape the area! ’”
When MacKenzie managed to catch Howard’s attention, he didn’t wriggle back into his seat as she had hoped after hearing his name.
He just turned his head and laid it on the side of the headrest, producing the funniest optical illusion while keeping his front legs firmly planted in the trunk.
MacKenzie took the quick choice to capture the amusing occasion in a 9-second video and send it to her friends because the car was parked.
They advised her to upload it to TikTok, and when she did, it quickly gained popularity.

The viral video was shot at the ideal moment by MacKenzie. Howard gradually outgrew his ability to once again encircle the center headrest in that manner.
Now that he can’t turn around when he does it, MacKenzie said. He becomes wedged in the rear between the side and central headrests. To free him, I have to completely stop the automobile.
Since Howard is growing larger every day, he won’t be able to trunk-surf for very long. But the Scooby Doo-like Great Dane, who is still growing, nevertheless has a mischievous driving habit that MacKenzie gets to enjoy.
Howard’s ears and chops are currently enjoying life out the window while I have a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine car sticker on the back of my vehicle, MacKenzie remarked. He is undoubtedly a character.
