Dog With GoPro Strapped to His Back Captures Priceless Wedding Footage
The 9-year-old sheepadoodle greeted guests with a harness-mounted camera, and the Instagram clip drew more than 236,000 likes.
On August 22, Wisconsin bride Emily Cowles and her husband equipped their 9-year-old sheepadoodle, Swayze, with a GoPro to film their wedding cocktail hour from the dog's perspective.
Wanting their "goofy" and "bright light" pet involved, the couple deployed Swayze to greet guests they could not visit personally, with videographer Sebastian of Motion Capture Productions rigging the harness.
One touching clip shows Swayze spending 20 minutes with Cowles' 91-year-old grandmother, while the resulting Instagram video has received over 236,000 likes, prompting multiple footage releases.
While the video's popularity grew quickly, Cowles remains grounded, joking, "We're trying not to let it go to his head," as she values preserving memories of guests who may not always be around.
The couple chose Door County, Wisconsin, as their wedding venue because it feels like "heaven" to the bride, providing the scenic backdrop for the viral cocktail hour footage.
