Most pet owners have experienced the sheer joy of watching their dog or cat zoom around the house or yard, but fewer people have ever seen a deer doing zoomies. In a TikTok video that’s been viewed more than 146,000 times, a deer named Benny and golden retrievers Junie and Kai race through the trees in the snow, looking deliriously happy to be cavorting in a winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes you just have to run and run and run and run,” one viewer wrote, while another exclaimed, “Nothing as entertaining in the woods as a deer with the zoomies!! Nature in its purest form!!” Viewers couldn’t get enough of the trio’s adorable antics. One person commented, “Critical cuteness achieved… 100%.”<\/p>\n

The @brownhikingtrails TikTok account, which shared the heartwarming video, is filled with sweet videos of interspecies friendships between dogs, cats, and deer. The account’s owner, Lorrie Brown, regularly goes on hikes with her animals. One viewer observed, “You live in a fairytale and I am enjoying it.” Brown published a children’s picture book in 2025 called “Gbro and Buttons<\/a>,”\u00a0based on the real-life friendship between Buttons the deer and Gbro the golden retriever, who “were best friends for over 12 years,” according to an Instagram reel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why do animals get the zoomies?\"Two<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever watched your dog zoom around at top speed for no apparent reason, you may have wondered what dog zoomies are and what causes them<\/a>. Cats run around like maniacs<\/a> sometimes, too, and tigers, lions, and other big cats get the zoomies<\/a> on occasion, as do rabbits, ferrets, horses, giraffes, elephants, and other animals. These sudden, intense periods of running around are more formally known as Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPs), and they occur most often in young animals.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the zoomies happen when an animal is happy and excited, such as when their owner comes home or when they’re let outside for some exercise. Other times, FRAPs occur as a way to release the animal’s pent-up energy after sleeping or being cooped up inside for too long. Many cats and dogs get the zoomies after defecating, after a bath or other grooming session, and after experiencing stress or overstimulation. Late in the evening is the most common time for FRAPs to take place.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the reason for the golden retrievers’ zoomies with their deer friend in the snow, their exercise is undeniably joyful \u2014 and even inspiring \u2014 to watch. “They just want to play together like children do with no boundaries,” one viewer wrote. Another commented, “Heart warming…if only the rest of the world could coexist like this.”<\/p>\n
