‘Scary’ Mastiff’s Cute Bath Routine Immediately Goes Viral
This is beyond adorable! Does your pup enjoy bath time? Our new puppy loves hopping in the shower—and it seems Bridget, the beloved Mastiff of the Goodlin siblings, feels the same way! They shared a heartwarming video of her full bath routine, and it radiates pure spa-day serenity.
The video—posted Saturday, March 16—opens with Bridget stepping into the shower like a seasoned pro. She sits quietly, relaxed and attentive, as the routine begins: gentle shampooing, careful nail trimming, and even a thorough teeth-brushing session. Her calm demeanor and soft sighs suggest she’s not just tolerating the experience—she’s savoring it! (Tip: Turn on your sound for soothing ASMR-style water sounds and quiet brushing noises.)
Talk about a pampered pup! From start to finish, Bridget remains blissfully chill—no squirming, no whining, just pure canine zen. The clip quickly exploded online, amassing over 46 million views, nearly 6 million likes, and 42,000 heartfelt comments. One fan, @Grace Catchpole, joked with 54,000 likes: “Mine HATES baths—and as you know, you can rarely make a Bull Mastiff do anything.” Another commenter, @Haku, added with perfect comedic timing: “Then you should see me trying to bathe my ‘cute and kind’ Pomeranian!”
Fun Facts About Mastiffs
Mastiffs are instantly recognizable for their impressive stature and quiet strength. Did you know they can stand over three feet tall at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 130 to 220 pounds? According to FurPetVo research, they’re among the largest dog breeds in the world.
Despite their imposing appearance—often described as “scary” by first-time observers—Mastiffs are famously gentle giants. Affectionate, loyal, and deeply cuddly, they’ll happily lean into your lap (even if they weigh nearly 200 pounds!). One FurPetVo contributor shared that her Cane Corso—a type of Italian Mastiff—weighs about 180 pounds but insists she’s a lap dog.
That said, due to their sheer size, experts at furpetvo.com recommend close supervision around small children—less about temperament, more about physics. An accidental nudge from a 190-pound friend could easily topple a toddler.
Mastiffs also shine as devoted protectors. They’re not prone to excessive barking, but when they *do* sound the alarm, it’s unmistakable—and often enough to send intruders scattering. On the flip side, be prepared for generous drooling and thunderous snoring; earplugs may become essential bedroom accessories!
Grooming is refreshingly low-effort. A weekly brush, occasional wipe-down with pet-safe cleaning cloths, and a bath every few weeks keep their short, dense double coat in great shape. Yes, they shed—but regular vacuuming keeps fur under control.
One important consideration: Mastiffs have a shorter lifespan than many breeds, typically living 8–10 years. Their size places extra demands on their joints and organs, so proactive vet care and thoughtful nutrition are key.
If you’re considering welcoming a Mastiff into your home, FurPetVo recommends thorough research. These dogs truly are giant teddy bears—sweet, steady, and endlessly loving. Just don’t be surprised when your “gentle giant” tries to curl up beside you… or *on* you!
