Hi, I'm Poppy, and today I'm gonna show you what a doge looks like.
Here's one now. Is it a boy? Or is it a girl?
You can tell that this is a doge by the way it looks.
Wow! That's one cute doge!
This is Wiggy. He is my personal favorite doge.
We love Wiggy!
I wish everyone was a doge.
Sometimes a doge will do funny things and that's why we like them.
Trivia[]

- Poppy does not call Wiggy a "dog" at all in the video, despite its title. Instead, she calls Wiggy a "doge", an obvious reference to the Doge internet meme.
- The video's audio was released to YouTube Music on September 14th, 2020, making this the only Poppy video to have an official audio release.[1]
- The audio contains a false parental advisory warning for "explicit lyrics".
