Everyone loves to get new things – including our pets. There is nothing like the excitement they show when their human brings them a new stuffy or ball; it can easily melt hearts! Dogs are especially excitable when they receive gifts; however, Lumpy the Basset Hound wearing his new shoes is probably the cutest thing you’ll see today!
Lumpy, a 5-year-old Basset Hound, has some amazing parents who take his welfare very seriously. His mom recently shared a video of him wearing his new blue doggie Crocs, and it is a total cuteness overload.
Apparently, his big chunky legs and massive paws are susceptible to getting sand burrs stuck in them while visiting the beach, so his humans looked for creative solutions.
In the video, shared on his page @lumpy_bassethound, he is seen adjusting to the new high-top Crocs. Lumpy takes a quick jump towards his fur brother, Ranger, who is playing with a tennis ball. As he lands, his new shoes make it tough to get his bearings. Then after a very brief attempt to grab the ball, he plops down on his belly, rolls on his side, and it’s clear he has exhausted himself!
His Labrador brother drops the ball out of his mouth. It lands on Lumpy – who lets it roll right over him. The poor guy is too tired to play!

Basset Hounds have a large fan base. It could be their long, floppy ears or their large round bodies and short, wrinkly legs, but whatever the reason, everyone just loves them!
Many of Lumpy’s 65K viewers were excited for his new blue shoes!
One commented, “Looks adorable, hope it works! And I love all the drama from Lumpy! Haha!”
Another stated, “Just when I thought basset paws couldn’t get any cuter!!” We agree that their big, powerful paws are absolutely adorable.
@bigtruck147 then said, ‘It was like he was waiting for you to say “action,”’ which we completely agree with – Lumpy seemed ready to demonstrate his dramatic side for the camera! He’s obviously quite a ham when his mom hits the record button!
