Naughty Pup Grabs Mom’s Marker And Accidentally Draws His Very Own Self-Portrait
Life with a puppy is never boring—and in Erik’s case, it’s a rollercoaster of mischief, messes, and unexpected surprises.
What started as pure chaos quickly turned into something that made his mom smile for days.
The Puppy Who Drove Mom Crazy

He lives with his mom, Flora Neilson, and their days are full of ups and downs. One moment, she’s smothering him with love, and the next, she’s wondering how one dog can cause so much chaos.
“He’s like a mix between a dog and a monkey,” Flora shared with The Dodo. “Always sniffing around, looking for something to chew or destroy. Just like a little kid, I have to keep my eyes on him all the time.”

And she has every reason to say that. One look at her staircase after leaving Erik alone for just a short while says it all.
Let’s just say… he’s got a talent for turning order into disaster.
A Mess With A Creative Twist
But not everything Erik does ends in frustration.
One day, he managed to surprise his mom—in the best way possible.

It started like any other day. Erik was busy poking around, and Flora was trying her best to ignore whatever small disaster he was planning next.
Before long, Erik got his paws on a permanent marker. He removed the cap, walked over to the couch, and started shaking his head—with the marker still in his mouth.
At first, Flora didn’t notice anything special. She saw the mess, got annoyed, and let out a few well-deserved complaints.
But just as she went to pull the cover off the couch, something caught her eye.

There, on the fabric, was a doodle that looked exactly like Erik himself—his accidental self-portrait.
“I didn’t notice his accidental self portrait until some hours later,” Flora said. “I wasn’t mad.”
A Little Artist Wins Her Heart
Although Erik had pushed her patience to the limit more than once, this moment made Flora pause. She couldn’t help but smile at the cute drawing.
That silly artwork reminded her that all the chaos, all the chewed-up things, and all the wild moments were just part of having a young pup.

And truthfully? She wouldn’t trade any of it.
Erik may be a handful, but he’s also full of charm. With that one surprise drawing, he proved he wasn’t just a troublemaker—he was also the heart of the home.
And as for his place in the family? It’s safe and sound. He’s not going anywhere.
