For some of us, a little bit of swagger just comes naturally. And there’s something about a confident little king or queen that appeals to everyone.
With his absolutely adorable appearance — and hilarious expressions — it should come as no surprise that Branston, a sweet shih tzu, has demonstrated a confident swagger on more than one occasion. In this video, he receives a lesson from his British mom, herself a character with a fabulous accent. “Right, Branston, we have arrived,” she starts lecturing. “Today, when you go in the field, I don’t want you to swagger in there like you’re king of the jungle. We will follow these four rules today. Let it go, always be kind, keep calm — and the fourth and most important one — you are not the size of a lion.”
At this, Branston turns his head dramatically, perhaps revealing that he does think a great deal of himself. With his unbelievably cute hairdo and adorable face, it’s kind of easy to understand how Branston might feel like a little lion.
