Dogs are more than just cuddly companions — research continues to show that pets bring real health benefits to their owners_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Oct 14, 2019 3:09 PM UTC  David Leahy Ltd—Getty Images  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Oct 14, 2019 3:09 PM UTC What does it take to bring [boundless amusement](https://time.com/5681198/french-bulldog-chucky-costume/) to a curious pooch? It turns out, not much more than a ceiling fan and a roll of toilet paper. Bentley, [a very good boy](https://time.com/5655428/service-dogs-attend-musical-performance/), found boundless amusement after his owner, Natalee Salvador, hung strips of toilet paper from the blades of their ceiling fan. When the fan was turned on, the strips fluttered, which sent the English bulldog into a paroxysm of both agitation and joy. In an interview with [_The Dodo_](https://www.thedodo.com/close-to-home/dog-freaks-out-at-toilet-paper-on-ceiling-fan), Salvador explained that she had originally set up the toilet paper on the fan for the family’s cat, but was pleasantly surprised when Bentley had a much more memorable reaction to it. “Bentley always overreacts to any little thing that is different than his usual ‘norm,’” Salvador said. “He goes after our vacuum…he gets startled if I move the barstool too fast. So really anything that bothers him he will react to and it’s pretty funny.” Watch Bentley in action below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/"},"headline":"Bentley the Bulldog Only Needs a Ceiling Fan and Toilet Paper to Be Endlessly Entertained","datePublished":"2019-10-14T15:09:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:03.080Z","description":"Can you blame him?","url":"https://time.com/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5320ee0421079a8c/698a043de76ad216946369c6/dog-chases-toilet-paper-fan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5320ee0421079a8c/698a043de76ad216946369c6/dog-chases-toilet-paper-fan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Portrait of British Bulldog","caption":"Portrait of British Bulldog","creditText":"David Leahy Ltd—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/","name":"Bentley the Bulldog Only Needs a Ceiling Fan and Toilet Paper to Be Endlessly Entertained"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"More Evidence That Owning a Dog is Really Good for You","description":"Dogs are more than just cuddly companions — research continues to show that pets bring real health benefits to their owners","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vTXboqxE/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-07-25T15:38:01.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vTXboqxE.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/","duration":"PT1M30S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5699722/dog-ceiling-fan/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
