Have you ever waited for so long to reveal a surprise to your family and friends, only to have someone jump the gun and ruin the whole thing? You know the feeling, right?
Benjamin Smith, a Minneapolis resident, recently experienced this firsthand and it was a biggie!
“Thanks to” his quirky family dog, Cosmo, the preparations for the gender reveal party took a humorous turn.
Why?
Well, it turns out that Cosmo was the only one who couldn’t resist the temptation!
Party Turns To Chaos, But Can You Blame Him?

Benjamin, a proud father-to-be, couldn’t be more excited to share the news with his extended family and closest friends. He had the whole event organized, including blue poppers for the grand finale.
However, Benjamin made one crucial mistake. He left the poppers out, unaware that Cosmo might get “too curious” and chew them – and that’s exactly what happened!

When his owners were not watching, Cosmo ruined every single one of them and covered himself in gender-revealing blue ink. As a result, his inked paws revealed – it’s gonna be a baby boy!
Fortunately, Benjamin wasn’t the one for whom the surprise was ruined. He already knew the gender of the baby, although the party was ruined for everyone else. Still, Cosmo’s owner was far from blaming him.

This Minneapolis dog seemed too excited to get to know who his new hooman sibling would be and took matters into his own paws. Ultimately, this “ruined” gender reveal took the internet by storm, even more than Benjamin initially planned!
Within just days, Cosmo’s doing was viewed by millions of people on TikTok who couldn’t have been more delighted by his mischief.
The comment section was flooded with heartwarming reactions, putting Cosmo in the spotlight again.
“Actually the best gender reveal I’ve seen,” one user wrote.
“THIS IS EXACTLY HOW YOU TELL EVERYONE! Glad the dog was involved,” another added.
“Howling in excitement about having a baby brother!! i agree with one of the comments, best gender reveal I’ve ever seen,” concluded the third one.
Cosmo, Star On The Rise

Ever since the gender reveal mishap, Cosmo has been a TikTok star on the rise. And, one thing is certain – people definitely want to see more of his antics!
Cosmo’s most recent video in which he attempts to say, “I love you,” indicates he has more hilarious skills up his sleeve, and he’s eager to share them with the world.
According to Benjamin, Cosmo remained “blue” for a couple of days after the gender reveal incident, as his ink couldn’t be washed off immediately. He literally resembled the ultimate doggo Smurf, much to everyone’s amusement.
But, given his young age and the fact that he’s still in his puppyhood phase, his owners definitely could not blame him.
I mean, could you?
