But there’s one little problem— it doesn’t quite know how to do it. (Maybe it should take a page from the [_Dead Poets Society_ playbook](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6xyHna-NuM "undefined")?) Drop everything you are doing, and watch this little bundle of joy try its best to master that whole howling thing now. Once this adorably wrinkly ball figures out how to let loose, it will undoubtedly be sounding it yawp from the rooftops and driving the neighbors batty. For now, though, the clip is 100% adorable. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3506045/bulldog-puppy-howl-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3506045/bulldog-puppy-howl-video/"},"headline":"Watch a Bulldog Puppy Try to Howl in an Adorable Video","datePublished":"2014-10-14T15:32:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:46.840Z","description":"Puppy love.","url":"https://time.com/3506045/bulldog-puppy-howl-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","viral","Videos","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3506045/bulldog-puppy-howl-video/","name":"Watch a Bulldog Puppy Try to Howl in an Adorable Video"}}]}] ```
