Two Humpback Whales Fall In Love With A Dog In Incredible Video

January 18, 2026

A day out on the water turned into a magical moment when two humpback whales seemed to fall in love with a very unexpected new friend — a dog named Fin.

In an incredible video shared online, Fin can be seen enthusiastically barking as a pair of massive humpback whales swim right up to the boat off the coast of San Diego. Instead of keeping their distance, the gentle giants appear curious and playful, lingering near the surface as if responding directly to Fin’s excitement.

"Fin has spent the last few years learning the art of whale watching,” owner Domenic Biagini said. “He can sniff out dolphins and whales before we see them, and there’s nothing he loves more than when these gentle giants come over to investigate his excited barking!”
