Rescue Cocker Spaniel Wows Everyone With Her Magic Ears Trick
Sometimes, dogs have the most unexpected talents that leave people in awe.
JoJo, a rescue Cocker Spaniel, is no exception.
JoJo’s Viral “Flicky Ears” Talent
When Lin first met her rescue pup JoJo, she didn’t seem to have any extraordinary tricks. Like most dogs, she loved playing, eating, and snuggling with her favorite humans.
But Lin soon noticed something uniquely charming about JoJo. When someone complimented her, JoJo’s long, floppy ears would flip up in the most delightful way.

Amused by her pup’s reaction, Lin decided to record JoJo’s adorable ear movement and share it on TikTok with the caption: “JoJo has amazing ears! She’s so sweet.”
In the video, a voice off-camera asks, “How’s the fluffy ears going?” JoJo responds by curling her ears upward in an utterly hilarious and magical way.

When her human follows up with, “Are you a lovely girl?” JoJo’s ears perk up again, melting hearts everywhere.
The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 100k views. Fans flooded the comments with amazement, with one asking, “How does that work?!”. Lin humorously replied with just one word: “😂 Magic.”
Many others shared their admiration for JoJo, including a user who wrote, “That’s incredible!!! I’ve never seen that in a dog with floppy ears!“.
Another commenter, who claimed their dog had the same ability, dubbed it “flicky ears.”

Cocker Spaniels are renowned for their distinctive floppy ears, which they can move independently thanks to their genetics.
Initially bred for hunting, these large ears help them hear better—an evolutionary perk that also allows them to “play” with their ears.
Still, JoJo’s ability to lift her ears perfectly in response to compliments sets her apart. Her timing and charm make her truly special.
