Featured Famous Clumsy Dog

Rocco

Rocco is an Old English Sheepdog that is stealing hearts around the world with his clumsy Instagram antics. Unlike typical dogs and cats who make it famous on the mostly photo-based site, Rocco's fame does not come from still-life pictures. Instead, the pooch is featured in slow motion videos that give viewers the chance to see his gawky actions firsthand. Rocco is known to often get stuck on chairs with his large and cumbersome butt. He tends to struggle through life with his clumsy natural nature. Even the simple task of climbing onto the bed is hilarious when Rocco tries. He is also inept at sports. Even though Rocco tries to catch a ball, he often fails miserably. In many instances, all viewers see is a flurry of fluffy fur, as Rocco struggles to look graceful.

The fluffy white Sheepdog is owned by 29-year-old Chicago-based art school student Erin Einbender. She bought him when he was just a tiny puppy. Almost immediately she started to take photos and videos of her new pooch and load them on Instagram. Rocco quickly began to amass a following of loyal fans. “People are starting to recognize him on the street. I have strangers come up to me and say, “Is this Rocco? I follow him on Instagram!” Erin says in an interview with Modern Dog. She goes on to encourage others to create their own pet-focused Instagram accounts, “Go for it! It’s entertaining. I’ve made a lot of new friends—humans and dogs—, and I’ve received free pet products. I like interacting with my followers. After all, we have at least one thing in common: loving Rocco. I can’t imagine life without him.”

Erin describes Rocco's personality as loyal, playful, and goofy. She goes on to say, " One of the most obvious unique traits of the breed is their fur. When kept at full fluff, the breed looks like a panda/polar bear. They are comedians and have a playful, puppy-like personality for most of their life. Although Rocco doesn’t always act like it, they are an intelligent breed and are rapid learners. As their name suggests, Old English Sheepdogs were originally bred to herd sheep. I’m planning to take Rocco to a farm for a herding instinct test this summer to see if his instinct kicks in."

Rocco appears to have real 'star' power with his fans. Maybe it's his cute appearance or maybe its just that he is overly clumsy, but people around the world love him and regularly log onto Instagram to watch his blundering videos and gaze at his cute image.

Dog Name Meaning Clumsy Considerations

Most people find a clumsy nature to be endearing. Clumsiness is often a sign of youth. Many adults are known to be chronically inept, but did you know that animals can also lack dexterity? Sometimes puppies stumble when they walk. Huge breed puppies often fall over their own two front feet. Other breeds, such as Bulldogs, often have excessively large heads which makes them a tiny bit top heavy. Most people love watching puppies stumbling all over the place. 'Clumsy puppies' is a leading search phrase for YouTube videos.

If your dog has gawky habits, you should consider a name that showcases this endearing characteristic. Some comedians are known for their bungling skills. Historically, Jerry Lewis is the all-time best slapstick comedian. He was known more for his physical comedian moves then his verbal. Many people referred to him as the 'King of Comedy." Why not call your pooch 'Jerry' or 'Lewis'? Jim Carrey is a more modern comedian known for his funnyman antics. He has played on countless movies and displayed an unparalleled multi-dexterity. You might want to call your pooch 'Jim' or 'Carrey.' You could also pick the name of one of his famous characters such as 'Grinch,' 'Riddler,' or 'Stanley.'
