Did someone say woof?

Jennifer Garner's sense of humor has no limits—even her dog isn't safe from her playful antics.

On Wednesday, August 28, Garner took to Instagram to share a short clip of her golden retriever, Birdie, casually lounging on the kitchen floor. As the pup glances over her shoulder and eventually walks away, the real magic happens in post-production.

Garner set the clip to Tinashe’s hit song “Nasty,” specifically the part where she belts out, “Is somebody gonna match my freak?” But it doesn’t stop there—Garner’s caption adds an extra layer of humor, reading, “Draw me like one of your French girls.”

The comments were an absolute goldmine.

“Omg. We say this about our cats all the time,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in with, “Strike a pose!” And a clever third commenter gave us the perfect pun: “Is somebody gonna match my woof?”

This isn't the first time Garner's given us a glimpse of the fun she has with her furry friends. Earlier this summer, the 13 Going on 30 star posted a video of her dog Birdie taking on the viral “hands in” challenge.

In this challenge, pet owners place their hands together in front of their cats or dogs, just like a team getting ready for a group cheer, to see if their pets will jump in and join the fun.

In the video, Garner and someone off-camera stack their hands in front of Birdie, waiting to see if she’ll join in like she’s part of the team. Garner encourages her pooch, saying, "Did you see, Birdie? Yeah, you did." And sure enough, Birdie places her paw right on top of the human hands, nailing the challenge on the first try.

Of course, Garner couldn’t resist a little self-deprecating humor, noting in the caption that she had “much less success with the puppy.”

Classic Jen, always keeping it real.
