Updated October 20, 2026 · Sources listed at the end
A tiny dog in sunglasses stands perfectly still while two dancers go full Beyoncé behind it. Now everyone wants their own pet in that spot. Here is what the original is and how the remakes work.
Make your own Single Ladies Pet Dance video
One photo, 5s 720p MP4, no watermark. $9.90 one-time.
Is the Single Ladies dog video real or AI?
The original that started the trend is real footage of a small fluffy dog with two real dancers. Most of the versions in your feed now are AI remakes that put someone's own pet in the lead spot from a single photo.
What song is in the dog dancing trend?
Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)', released in October 2008. The staging, one lead with two dancers behind, copies the song's famous black-and-white music video.
What kind of dog is in the original?
A small long-haired dog wearing sunglasses and a flower lei, widely identified as a Shih Tzu.
Can I do it with a cat or a big dog?
Yes. Cats and big breeds are some of the most popular versions, because the size contrast with the dancers is the joke. Use a sharp photo taken at your pet's eye level with both ears visible.
How do I make the Single Ladies video with my pet?
Upload one photo of your pet on Sendare's Single Ladies dog page and pay once ($9.90 for one video). Sendare generates a vertical studio clip with your pet center stage and two backup dancers. Download it and add Beyoncé's song in TikTok or Reels.
