A delightful video of a 9-month-old cane corso named Blaze has captured the hearts of TikTok users. Blaze may be larger than your average puppy, but his impeccable manners have earned him the title of a gentleman.

In the video shared by owner Leah Garcia [@leah_txrealtor], Blaze can be seen galloping behind a pizza delivery driver, making sure he reaches his car safely. The onscreen text explains that Blaze always walks guests to their cars, and this time, he wanted to walk the pizza man.

Dogs are known for their ability to sense human emotions, and Blaze’s behavior changes depending on the person he’s walking with. He seems most relaxed when walking with his owner’s husband, as opposed to their kids or other women in the family.

It’s possible that Blaze sensed the delivery driver’s anxiety due to his size. The U.S. Postal Service reported over 5,300 employees attacked by dogs in 2022 while delivering mail, so it’s understandable for drivers to feel uneasy around pets.

The heartening video captioned “He just loves to protect” has garnered 7.3 million views, 963,000 likes, and over 2,080 comments. TikTok users have praised Blaze for his intelligence and understanding of people’s nervousness around him.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) describes cane corsos like Blaze as “peerless protectors,” with an imposing appearance that serves as their first line of defense against intruders. However, when they’re with their loved ones and not feeling threatened, they’re known to be very affectionate and good with kids.

Blaze’s viral video serves as a reminder not to judge a book by its cover, showcasing the gentle and caring nature of this large breed.
