Christmas morning usually comes with the kind of excitement that makes everyone rush to see what is under the tree, and Fenway did not disappoint. The Labrador mix, dressed in adorable holiday pajamas, sprinted into the room and froze for a split second at the sight of a generous pile of presents set out just for him. It looked like the ultimate pet dream, a tree, a festive home, and a mountain of gifts with his name on them. What happened next is exactly why the moment became such a hit.
Fenway clearly loves his toys, but that day he found something even more thrilling than whatever was inside the packages. The second the door opened, he exploded with energy and went straight for the wrapping paper. Instead of patiently opening one present and checking his new treasure, he treated the unwrapping itself as the main event. At first he started peeling paper off properly, then he switched into rapid mode, grabbing a corner, ripping a bit, and immediately bouncing to the next gift.
Watching him work through the pile is like seeing a dog with a very specific holiday agenda. He moved from present to present with zero hesitation, as if the crinkle and tear of decorative paper was the greatest reward possible. There is something instantly funny and oddly relatable about how he ignored the usual rules of gift opening. Fenway was not looking for a slow reveal, he was chasing pure, chaotic joy.

The clip was shared on TikTok by the account @kristinandfenway, and the internet responded exactly as you would expect. Viewers called it the most precious thing ever, while others wrote that it made their hearts so happy. A lot of people agreed with one comment that summed him up perfectly, saying he was like a big kid. It is hard to argue when you see how delighted he is by the simplest part of the whole setup.
Fenway’s paper obsession also fits neatly into a bigger holiday habit among pet owners. A Rover.com survey found that nearly 95 percent of people who have pets buy them Christmas gifts, which explains why so many homes now have stockings and wrapped surprises for dogs and cats. Still, Fenway’s reaction stands out because he did not care about the contents at all. For him, the best part was having endless paper to shred, and he was determined to enjoy every second.
