Lilly captured a funny moment showcasing Maverick’s hilarious reaction to unexpected black cat figurines. This moment quickly went viral on social media.
Maverick was spooted ‘Frozen’ among Halloween decorations
On Tiktok platform, Lilly shared a TikTok video showing Maverick standing motionless among the black cat props.
The caption read, “When your lab is terrified of cats.” The video quickly went viral, drawing various interpretations from viewers.
In the footage, Maverick was spotted ‘frozen’ among some Halloween decorations in the yard.
The decorations included a collection of black cat cutouts staked into the ground. Upon seeing them, Maverick froze in place, resembling a computer screen from the early 2000s.
When Lilly called for Maverick, he did not move. Instead, he remained frozen, clearly startled by the eerie new arrivals.
The video quickly went viral and laugh of loud many
In the comment selection, many viewers express their laughter at Maverick. While another suggested that Maverick is a real robot, and they believed that Maverick deserves to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
One peron said: He isn’t terrified. That’s a good hunting dog right there. He just needs training.
A second wrote: So funny! Can’t believe he really don’t move. I’ve waited till I saw him moving.
While a third commented: I must say how impressive it was that Maverick was able to stand so still. Poor sweet boy!
Another added: The dog is on point; they’re supposed to “freeze” (hold still) when they’re on point. It’s an instinct in hunting breeds.
Reason why Maverick was ‘frozen’ among Halloween decorations
The night before, Lilly had set up the cardboard cats as part of their Halloween decor.
Although the intention was not to scare Maverick, it seems he didn’t quite understand that. When he spotted the cutouts, he froze like a statue.
“When I turned around, he was standing frozen like that,” Lilly recounted. “I died laughing. I’ve never seen him do that before.”
It’s unclear what exactly was going through Maverick’s mind. However, it appears he was instinctively “pointing,” a behavior some dogs exhibit to alert their owners to something unusual.
In this case, Maverick was likely trying to ensure his family was aware of the spooky cat situation.
Fortunately, the cardboard decorations posed no real threat. As Lilly said, “I think [the cats] just caught him off guard.”
Regardless of the fearsome decorations, Maverick’s family supports him through all situations—real or imagined.
This heartwarming story highlights the bond between Maverick and his family. It showcases the playful side of their beloved pet during the Halloween season.
