Tanyssa and Brad Moise love playing goofy games with their three dogs, and one hide-and-seek session was especially entertaining.
Disguising himself as a bush, Mr. Moise went and hid from German shepherds Jade, Jasper, and Jet in the garden. When the trio were let out, it was clear they could smell their owner but had no clue where he was.
“I went inside and opened up the door and let the dogs out,” Mrs. Moise said. “I told them to go find Daddy.”
A now-viral video, which has received over 16 million views, shows Jade, 7, Jasper, 4, and Jet, 2, racing around, intent on finding their beloved owner. Needless to say, when they locate him, they go crazy with delight.
Mrs. Moise is often referred to as Karen in the videos, while Mr. Moise goes by the name Kevin, and their three million followers love watching the family’s funny antics.
Mrs. Moise says their online following started to pick up when she posted videos of Jasper coming home as a puppy. In a bid to amuse their fans, she scours Amazon for humorous costumes for her husband to wear in their hilarious sketches.

Part of their popularity, Mrs. Moise believes, is down to the beauty of their pets.
“The dogs are all sable-colored, working-line German shepherds, which makes them a little bit unique and different because they have that beautiful sable coat,” she said.
The family live near Reno Lake, Canada, and one of their favorite things to do together is spend time outside exploring, hiking, or renting a cabin in nature for the weekend. The extreme winter cold does not bother the tough pups at all.
“They do not care; they want to be outside 24/7. These dogs are not for the faint of heart. They require a firm, consistent, strong leader because they love to push the limits,” she said.
Playing and inventing games is one very effective way of not only having fun but also keeping them engaged and challenged.
“They’re smart, they’re quick learners, and they need that mental exercise too,” Mrs. Moise said.
“Once we decided to pursue doing the videos full time, it gave us freedom to be with the dogs and take care of them to the best of our abilities,” she said.
“I really love making people happy and making a difference in the dog community by sharing training tips. And at the end of the day, dogs are so special. They’re only here for such a short period of time, so just try to remember to cherish every day with them because they love us, and we’re their whole world.”
