A boxer dog named Luna has amused her owners with an unexpected behavior, showcasing her quirky personality. In a video shared by Amy McLoughlin of Washington Township, New Jersey, Luna is seen perching on the shoulders of Amy’s husband, Brian. Amy humorously remarks in the clip, “Luna, you’re one strange dog. She’s going to try and sit on your head. I think she’s bird-watching now.” Luna’s peculiar antics left her owners laughing, describing her as a true clown.
The couple welcomed Luna into their family in August 2022, shortly after losing their previous boxer, 12-year-old Apollo. Despite initial reservations about getting a new puppy so soon, Luna’s charm won them over. Luna shares her home with two older boxers, Shadow and Zeus, who, according to Amy, “adore” Luna.
Luna’s habit of perching on shoulders began when she observed Zeus sitting on Brian’s lap. Amy explains, “She was jealous of the attention Zeus was getting and decided to climb up him and get higher than Zeus, knocking him off and perching on his shoulder.” Amy notes that boxers, in general, have little regard for personal space and are always by their owners’ side.
Describing Luna’s unique personality, Amy shares that Luna often engages in playful teasing with the older boxers, steals their toys, and even playfully swats guests to grab their attention. Luna, labeled by Amy as a “permanent puppy,” continues to exhibit puppy-like behavior, such as playing with toilet paper and waking her owners up with playful swats or by sitting on them.
Amy attributes Luna’s delightful and goofy demeanor to the influence of Shadow and Zeus, stating, “They love to run laps around the yard. Shadow is a senior, so she cannot keep up all the time, but they all love to nap together. We are smitten with the three of them.” Luna’s entertaining antics have become a source of joy for her owners, showcasing the endearing and playful nature of this boxer trio.
