Video: Bernese Mountain Is a ‘Cooperative Victim’ in Little Girl’s Playroom Crime Scene

Large, fluffy, and impossibly patient, Bernese Mountain Dogs have earned a reputation as one of the best breeds for families with children. They’re strong enough to handle roughhousing but gentle enough to lie still when a child wants them as part of an imaginary game. That mix of size and temperament is on full display in a viral new video where a little girl enlists her Bernese Mountain Dog in a playful “crime scene” scenario that has viewers laughing out loud.

Video shows little girl and Bernese Mountain cooperating in adorable playroom crime scene

Ivy, a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, has proven to be the perfect playmate for her little human sibling in a new video. The clip captures the duo engaged in a playful “crime scene” scenario. The little girl, fully immersed in her imaginative role, sets up magnetic tiles around Ivy, who lies on the floor as the “victim.”

The large dog stays completely still, appearing to “play dead,” while his tiny investigator sibling carefully examines the scene. Their mom humorously dubbed the video “CSI: Playroom Edition” and added that the “victim remains cooperative,” a caption that perfectly sums up Ivy’s calm and patient demeanor.

The short clip quickly caught the attention of social media users, amassing 1.6 million views and 122K likes within just four days. Many viewers were delighted by Ivy’s willingness to play along and the imaginative energy of the little girl. Comments flooded in, with one viewer remarking, “That look says, ‘You see what I put up with? You better call me a good boy after this,’” noting the pup’s seemingly resigned but patient expression.

Another joked, “The NCIS team has a new detective,” referencing the girl’s precise play-acting as an investigator. Others noted Ivy’s calm demeanor, saying, “Till a Bernese doesn’t have to move too much, they’re always cooperative,” while another summed it up with, “Best thing I’ve seen all day!!”
