Pit Bull Mix Tries Creative Pup Cup Alternative-and It's Even Better in Slow Motion
Canines clamor when they hear those two magical words: Pup Cup. That tiny container of whipped cream is enough to make any fur baby's day and is often saved for a special occasion. Dogs especially love joining their parents at a coffee shop or café to get their own cup full of something yummy.
Shmoo the Pit Bull was served a different spin on a Pup Cup while at home, but enjoyed it just as much as if it were from any Starbucks or Dunkin'.

In the TikTok from @shmoothemagicaldog, the pretty Pittie stared up at her mom waiting for the special treat coming her way. All of a sudden, a whipped cream can appeared and began spraying out that dairy deliciousness right into Shmoo's mouth.
"Sometimes instead of Pup Cups, we do Shmoo laces," the onscreen text explained as the video went into slow-motion to fully capture the creative flair used while spraying the whipped cream, along with the look of pure joy on the fur baby's face.
Shmoo opened her mouth as wide as she could with every drop of whipped cream that left the can. She kept her eyes wide open so she wouldn't miss a single dollop, and paid no attention to the mess it all made on her face.
"When the sugar hits and her eyes glaze over," the caption added.
When Did Pup Cups Start?
The beloved sweet treat for dogs began in the early 2000s when coffee shops and cafés noticed the demand for pet-friendly options that canines could enjoy with their parents.

Starbucks played a key role in launching the Pup Cup through a "secret menu" that offered a "puppuccino". The small cup of whipped cream was available upon request at most locations, and word quickly spread to dogs and dog lovers. More food and beverage establishments caught on and began offering the pooch-friendly item on their menus.
While Shmoo didn't have an official Pup Cup, she definitely enjoyed her special treat regardless of how it was delivered.
