Enzo has come a long way from life as a stray.
The once-homeless pup now has a loving family, a warm place to sleep and, apparently, an entire wardrobe of handmade hats created especially for him.
Enzo’s owner loves to crochet, and after adopting him, she found herself with the perfect new model for her creations.
A recent video showing Enzo modeling his growing collection of crocheted hats has delighted animal lovers online.
“From a stray to a hat model,” his owner wrote alongside the clip.
And Enzo certainly seems to take his new job seriously.
Instead of bouncing around or trying to shake the hats off, the pup sits patiently while displaying one elaborate creation after another.
His expression might be the funniest part.
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW:
Enzo stares into the camera with such a serious modeling face that viewers joked he looked like he had mastered his own version of “Blue Steel,” the famously intense pose from the comedy “Zoolander.”
Among the collection is an especially memorable gladiator-style hat that transforms Enzo into what looks like a tiny canine warrior.
There are plenty of other colorful and creative designs, too, each apparently handmade with Enzo in mind.
The video quickly attracted thousands of comments from people who couldn’t get enough of his unusual fashion show.
One viewer compared the gladiator look to the movie “Gladiator,” jokingly giving Enzo the dramatic title of commander.
Another imagined him showing up at doggy daycare knowing none of the other pups could compete with his wardrobe.
One crocheter admitted that seeing Enzo’s collection made her realize her own dogs had somehow been going without handmade hats despite her knowing how to crochet.
Others praised both sides of the partnership.
Enzo’s mom received plenty of compliments for her crochet skills, while Enzo was repeatedly declared the perfect model.
And considering his expressions, it is hard to disagree.
Several viewers also wanted to know where the patterns came from.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Enzo’s owner follows existing crochet patterns or designs the hats herself, but commenters were already encouraging her to consider selling the patterns or finished creations.
The handmade accessories are cute, but Enzo’s story makes the videos even sweeter.
Dogs that begin their lives as strays can face an uncertain future, and adoption can completely transform their world.
For Enzo, that transformation apparently included becoming part of a creative hobby he probably never expected.
He may not understand why a new hat keeps appearing on his head, but he seems perfectly willing to humor his mom — especially if treats are involved.
And judging by the reaction online, his unexpected career change is working out beautifully.
