BudTheBlackLab, the black Labrador from TikTok, has captured the hearts of millions with his unexpectedly pious behavior. This sweet dog refuses to eat until grace is said, showing an impressive level of patience and faithfulness that has made him a viral sensation. His owner, Haley Buckland (@sykotic_girl), shared the adorable moment, which quickly garnered over 30 million views and millions of likes.
In the video, Bud is seen sitting in front of his meal, but instead of diving into it like most dogs would, he waits expectantly, glancing at his owner as if to remind her that something important is missing — a prayer. Despite encouragement from Haley and a couple of faux “Amens,” Bud stands firm, making it clear that proper grace must be said before he can eat.
Eventually, Haley recites the well-known “God is Great” prayer, and only after hearing the full grace does Bud happily start eating. The moment was touching and amusing for viewers, with many in the comments praising Bud for his “considerate” and “mindful” nature.
This viral video has resonated with many, likely because it highlights the unique and charming behaviors pets often develop from spending so much time with their human families. Dogs, in particular, are known for mirroring our routines and emotions, and Bud’s devotion to saying grace before meals is just another example of how deeply they can connect with us.
In the end, Bud’s prayerful patience has not only won over TikTok but has also reminded us all of the joy and companionship our pets bring into our lives. Here’s hoping Bud is enjoying plenty of prayers and meals — and continuing to spread smiles online!
