Giant Poodle Shakes in Fear at Escalator, Cuddles Up to Mom for Comfort: "I'm Still a Baby"

A giant poodle, seemingly afraid of escalators, sought comfort from its owner to ride together. Recently, a man in Argentina noticed a woman with an exceptionally large poodle while shopping at a mall. When the dog approached the escalator, it displayed childlike behavior, whining to be picked up by its owner. The subsequent scene left many viewers in awe of the mother's strength, as she effortlessly lifted her furry companion.

The video shared by TikTok user "Tomi Weiss" (@weisstomi) captured this amusing moment. Tomi was intrigued by the sight of the giant standard poodle—a relatively rare appearance. As he filmed, he observed the dog's fearful demeanor in front of the escalator, prompting it to lean on its mother as if asking for a lift. The footage showcased the remarkable strength of the mother, who managed to hold her dog with just one hand despite its considerable size; standard poodles typically weigh between 20 to 30 kilograms (44 to 66 pounds).

Viewers expressed their amusement with remarks like "still just a baby," "Mom, I'm scared," and "this poodle must have some human genes." Some commenters also noted that escalators can be dangerous for dogs due to their long fur potentially getting caught in the machinery, suggesting that perhaps the dog instinctively understood this risk and sought its mother's protection.
