“Just so pure and so curious”comments a subscriber under the video published on the account “@millie.muffin.butt” and relayed by PetHelpful. The little puppy who only knew about fireflies for a few minutes decided to go hunting, but in an adorable way. As the sun sets, the puppy enjoys the softness and enriches his knowledge about the world.
The Australian Cattle Dog, a dog with energy to spare
THE Australian Cattle Dog is known for his dynamism and sense of duty when caring for herds. This dog needs to be kept busy so he never gets bored. The little girl's video Millie highlights a puppy who already corresponds to the idea that we can have of the breed. Full of dynamism, she has fun while highlighting a certain capacity for concentration.
“The cutest thing”
The images of Millie are deeply comforting. The dog lets herself be carried away by her curiosity and follows the insects in the night.
In comments, Internet users also say they are fascinated by these small flying insects whose wings are covered in a luminous yellow color. They therefore completely understand the young dog's fascination with her new discovery, which does not seem to tire her for a single moment.
Feeling like I'm seeing the world through the eyes of MillieInternet users wish him to keep his joy of living as long as possible. One of them adds: “she’s so cute, it’s not real”.

Can a dog play with fireflies?
A priori, if the dog only plays and does not ingest these small beetles, the danger is not present. On the other hand, if the animal starts trying to eat them, it must be absolutely prevented. Indeed, the body of fireflies contains lucifagins, which are defense toxins. In general, the very unpleasant taste alone is enough to slow down the dog.
If ingested, problems can be serious, with digestive disorders, vomiting, as well as significant drooling.
The game must therefore remain under surveillance, and limited to a chase game.
