OUR FAMILY IS HEARTBROKEN AFTER THE LOSS OF OUR SWEET BEARDED DRAGON RYUU ... Ryuu came to us as an adorable baby dragon more than 7 1/2 years ago and he changed my opinion of having reptiles as pets. He was just so sweet and gentle. A few years later we adopted an orphaned kitten and the two pets were NOT the best of friends, so there wasn't much interaction ... BUT ... when we adopted a sweet tiny 1 1/2 lb female Chihuahua our dragon seemed to adore her. They loved to play together and looked forward to their games of tag, but as Ryuu aged he slowed down and played less. After months of showing his age we noticed that he wasn't eating much (even though we changed his diet and daily needs as advised by the vet). Sadly, our little video star passed away 2 nights ago and we are all missing him terribly. He has been the most amazing member of our family. We would like to thank all the subscribers, viewers and those who post kind comments on this video because this is one of the best memories that we have to remind us how much fun he was and we hope that he will live on as new members view this video. Thank you all for watching and please feel free to forward this video to anyone that you think may need a smile!! :)
this is a great video when you wanna see the brighter side of things but in reality, your lucky your dog isn't crispity, crunchity, fried food for your dragon.
I literally just got my beardie today after much preparation - he's 8 weeks old and sleeping in his viv as I type this - and I find it really interesting when I find documented play behaviour like this in non-mammals. The beardie's tail is up when he runs, and his head is alert, but he's clearly not stressed or angry because his namesake beard would be puffed and dark. Thankyou for recording this for posterity!
Mal Rathmone Our beardie is incredible and he really does love to play with our Chihuahua ... maybe because she is a girl and he might have a crush on her ... LOL!! He never gets stressed around her and she never goes after him in a mean way ... they just love to chase each other around the living room. :)
They seriously love to play together ... I love to watch them. Our Chihuahua never tries to hurt the dragon, she really loves to chase him and our dragon gets excited whenever she comes into the room because he thinks it's time to play. They make us laugh all the time. :)

Thank you ... they really do have a sweet relationship ... they get excited to see each other. The beardie is getting older and not as fast as he was in this video, but he still loves our dog. I hope one day to see them just comfort each other since they like to be together.
+Marlatt Reptiles chihuahuas are actually Mexico's worlds smallest dogs they're almost the size of a miniature pincher. I know this because i used to have 1
Your beardie is amazing! So playful and gentle. Adorable puppy as well. I own a bearded dragon (and I've had one before him) and for a chill as they are, I have never seen them interact with my dogs like this. They usually just flop there looking at them. :P Love the video; so cool and unique to see these two having fun together. :)
Our beardie doesn't like our cat, so we don't let them play together. He will play with the cat if the dog is around because he really likes our dog. I don't know why they like each other so much but maybe it has something to do with the fact that our dog is a girl and he is a boy. Our cat is a boy too, so maybe that's why they don't like to play together the way these two do.
Meo Madeley Lizards have a natural tendency to fear felines of any kind. Saw that on a nature documentary years ago, so, if any new research has come about, then maybe take that tentatively. But it makes sense since cats hunt anything they can over power. Even though domestic house cats are very unlikely to hurt pet lizards. It was always a hit or miss whether my lizards liked cats. Playful cats have intimidated my beardies, in my experience, whereas my mellow lazy cats didn't seem to incite any fear or dislike in the lizards. However, they never seemed to have issues with dogs at any point. I'm just really impressed that your beardie plays! So cute. ^_^ Great video!
I didn't know that about lizards ... thank you for letting me know. The funny thing is that the dragon does not seem to be intimated by our cat at all ... he actually scares the cat which is kind of funny, but we don't want to stress either of them out so we don't push it on them. We like our pets to be happy and feel safe at all times. We do have a couple of videos of the dragon and the cat sort of playing together and it is only when the beardie goes black that we stop them from playing ... now he is older and doesn't want to be around the cat so we don't put them together.
Meo Madeley Oh yeah, no problem! I agree, you just know when it's best to keep animals separate. I keep mine away from the cat I have now. He used to puff up and scare her too, but it sorta just got to the point where he was not happy being near her at all. It's good your lizard does have a fun playmate! I'll definitely be checking out your other animal videos. :)
Our Beardie never goes black with our Chihuahua ... they are such good friends ... The beardie loves her and she loves him. I have no idea why they like to play so much, but they both seem to want to be together a lot. She never bites or growls at him ... she just talks to him and he never bites at her. It's a strange and wonderful love affair ... LOL!!
This has to be my most favourite video find on UA-cam for 2016 can't believe I've never seen it before now 😊 it's brilliant... Our beardie Rizzle used to lay with our late cat Alfie.. Rizzle is a super placid boy.. Thanks for posting such a great video 😊
Love this! Have a beardie and she acts like a dog. We are getting a second one this sept/oct time. Waiting for him to hatch. Getting from a breeder and he will be an ice bearded dragon. A specialty color.
I just got my first dragon about 2 weeks ago he is 2 years old and I think they are so cool. I show everyone you video so they can see how playful they are. I was very surprised that they are so smart and have personalities of their own.
Joe Krenzelok They just enjoy playing together. Our Dragon seems to really like our Chihuahua and he wants to play with her often. He is an amazing dragon and has never been aggressive with our dog and our dog has never been aggressive with our dragon either. She even protects him from our cat.
Omg trying not to smile while watching this. Toooo cute. My dragon only has 3legs(I got her from a rescue that way) lol I wish she'd do something that cute though
I am sure that your little dragon is extremely thankful for you taking her to a forever home. The dragon we had before Ryuu was a rescue ... his name was Godzilla and he couldn't move either of his back legs when we first got him ... he was 8 years old when he came to our home ... With increased calcium and tons of love and attention he gained back the use of his legs and then melted my heart because he was so gentle and sweet. I would never have know how wonderful bearded dragons were if it wasn't for Godzilla and his need for a good home ... now I can't live without them. I'm sure you feel the same way. Rescues are incredibly loving!! :) :)
Both my gentlemen (my dragon and dog) have past on, but whenever Bandit was out and Leon's on the bed, Leon would go to my dog and both would just chill and nap together or Bandit would be on my lap and Leon would climb down my chest and rested with Bandit. I remember when I gave Bandit the news back in November 2014 of Leon's passing, the poor dog just looked down at the floor and let out a shaky sigh;w;
I'm sure this is an old video, but i just wanted to come on here and tell you how much i loved this video! your dog and beardie are both precious! so cute that they like to play together. what an odd couple! i laughed so hard! great video, and thanks for sharing :)
This has to be the cutest video ever!!! Your beardie's waddle is so adorable!!! I wish I could let mine run around the living room but he's too small and fast, I have too many things for him to get stuck under. I can't wait till he's your beardie's size! Thank you for sharing, I got quite a good laugh from it.
+Meo Madeley my dragon is so playful it would play with my cat and it would rub its belly and he would run around me and climb up my back :-) I love your videos :-) :-) :-)
I could just picture the dragon thinking "not this little shit again,get the fuck away"

I agree with you ... bearded dragons are AMAZING pets!!
Me too. And I'm getting one in June,7, 2015

lol that bearded dragon is boss
Looks like that beardie was in the mood for a yappy meal!
Too cute! Beardies rock! It looks like fun times in your home! Such feisty wee creatures; our boy is the benign dictator in our family.
i like how the chihuahua is all "COME AT ME BRO" but as long as the Beardy moves he freaks out
This is the single cutest video I've seen in quite a while.
I like the chawwa
that is so adorable lol
I enjoyed every second of it :)

I haven't laughed this much for a while!!!!! 😂 ❤ Thank you! ❤
That dragon was like "You wanna mess with me, boy?"
you wanna go m8
Better than Tom and Jerry....lol Thank you, I needed a good belly laugh and this was hysterical!
The thing that makes me LOL is the lizard giving the dog the "cold beady-eyed reptile stare...,I see what you did there!"
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen😂❤️
Those tiny little nose taps from the dog to try to get the beardie's attention! So cute! Excellent video! Thank you!
some of the top cutest animals (in my opinion) in one room playing tag asdfghjkl
😍 good little dragon
At first I thought the beardie was being stressed out, but he didn't black-beard or open his mouth, so I guess not! What an interesting relationship!
Our Beardie never goes black with our Chihuahua ... they are such good friends ... The beardie loves her and she loves him. I have no idea why they like to play so much, but they both seem to want to be together a lot. She never bites or growls at him ... she just talks to him and he never bites at her.

Such a beautiful dragon :) had a great laugh. I hope u continue 2 enjoy each other's company for many years 2 come :)
Thank you ... we have wonderful pets and they all get along ... our dragon, dog, cat, hedgehog and rabbit. It's a pet love fest at our house. LOL
They are adorable
this is adorable
So adorable!!
Great Video! I am honestly shocked. I never realized that a bearded dragon (Or any lizards) would play. This is awesome!
We had no idea how much they liked each other until we let them play ... now they look forward to being together. It's really sweet.
they are So cute & funny! ❤
