English Bulldog Puppies Learn To Walk, Take First Steps (VIDEO)

First Posted: 01/31/2012 5:34 pm Updated: 01/31/2012 6:16 pm

What's more adorable than puppies? Puppies taking their first steps, of course.

These little English Bulldog pups are flailing their paws on the carpet as they attempt to walk for the first time.

And just like a baby, the tiny dogs are eager to explore their surroundings and possibly get into a bit of mischief. But with wrinkly faces like that, how can anyone stay upset with them for long?

As testament to their newfound Internet stardom, footage of the three-week-old puppies, Sylvester and Shirley, was recently featured on ABC's "Good Morning America."

This video was produced and published by Suburban Bullies, a breeder of English Bulldogs is located in Portales, N.M. According to their Facebook page, all of their dogs are "raised by and with our family at our home."

While walking proved to be a bit of a learning experience for Sylvester and Shirley, Harper's first steps were more of a challenge.

The dog, which was found in a trash bag, was born with "swimmer's puppy syndrome," a disorder that made it it difficult for the pup to walk and lift her head.

After receiving massage and hydrotherapy sessions, Harper's condition began to improve, and she was eventually able to take her first steps.

They keep walking to the camera person, but the camera keeps moving back. That's what it looks like. Pups are mewling out of frustration. The poor white pup needs some help with his hind legs.

Christmas on a Cracker, that was WAY too cute! I do love Bulldogs, and there are very few cuter puppies, but I'd never own one. Well, not unless I won the lottery, one must be prepared for all the health issues they are pretty much guaranteed to have.

Ugh but all of that aside, VERY dang adorable!

We have a bulldog on the street who walks around with a deflated rubber ball in his mouth. I've never seen him w/o it.

Dogs are supposed to have a muzzle, the protruding part of the face.

Once saw this guy walk into a Pet Smart with his bulldog...

They looked exactly alike... portly, walking slowly, fat face. It was hilarious.

As one of the overbred "dogs du jour" the new owners of these puppies can expect huge veterinary bills accompanied by worry and heartache as the inbred/overbred characteristics begin to show themselves sooner rather than later. Adopt from your local animals service org. Never buy from a breeder and be complicit in the tremendous dog overpopulation in this country and worldwide. Spay and neuter your animals.
