The End did not start as a creator's reel. It first showed up on 12 October 2026 in TikTok ads for an AI video app: a fluffy apricot dog walks up an empty city road on its hind legs, stops in front of the camera, waves one paw and runs away. On 13 October the app added a brown spaniel and a white-and-grey cat to the same clip, and by 14 October we had counted 18 of these ads. Every version uses the same set: a wide road filmed from low down, a white barrier fence with pink panels and banners, trees and tall apartment buildings behind. We found no original reel and no shared prompt for it on TikTok, YouTube or the AI template sites (checked 15 October), so MakeViral built the scene from scratch. The name is ours: the clip is a ready-made ending, so it closes with a whispered "The end." Pets that stand up like little people were already a TikTok favorite: #standingcat has 2,551 videos and 114.2 million views. ### The End: Wave Bye trend timeline - **2026-10-12**: An AI video app starts TikTok ads for a one-photo template: a fluffy apricot dog walks up a city road on its hind legs, waves a paw at the camera, turns and runs away. - **2026-10-13**: The same app adds two more pets to its ads, a brown spaniel and a white-and-grey cat, both walking upright down the same road with the pink fence. - **2026-10-14**: 18 TikTok ads for the template have run since 12 October, all from one app. - **2026-10-15**: On TikTok, #standingcat has 2,551 videos and 114.2 million views, and #standingdog 1,191 videos and 18.8 million views.

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add your photo.** Press "Make yours" and add your pet, whole body. Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/the-end-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. MakeViral builds the The End scene with your photos, then Kling 3.0 animates it for 8 seconds with original sound. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs these prompts for you. A photo prompt puts your photo into the scene (Nano Banana 2, image mode, 9:16, 1K), then a video prompt animates that still. To change them, copy them and edit them in AI Photo and AI Video. #### Variant: Pet Settings: 1 photo (your pet, whole body) · Kling 3.0 · 8 s · 1080p · 9:16 · with sound · 46 credits in one tap. 1. Open [AI Photo with this template](https://www.makeviral.ai/photo?template=the-end-ai-trend&variant=pet) and add your photo (your pet, whole body). The photo prompt is filled in: ```text Use the uploaded image as the base. 9:16 vertical photo, like a real phone photo taken from low down, at the height of a small dog. The pet from the uploaded image stands upright on its two hind legs in the middle of a wide, empty city road of smooth grey asphalt in bright, soft daylight, with a low curb and a sidewalk on the far side; along the sidewalk runs a white metal barrier fence hung with soft pink panels and a few plain pink banners; behind it, green trees and tall city apartment buildings. It stands a few steps from the camera, facing the camera, its front paws held up in front of its chest, ears up, looking into the lens with a cheeky, happy face. Its whole body is in view, from the ears to the hind paws, with its tail. Realistic photo with natural colors and a soft, shallow depth of field. Exactly one animal and no people, no cars. No clothes on the pet. No text, no logos, no watermark, no writing on the banners. ``` 2. Check the still before you spend credits on the video. Everything the video model does starts from that one frame. 3. Press the film button on the still to open AI Video with the still as the first frame. Settings: Kling 3.0, 8 s, 1080p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text One continuous shot with no cuts, like a real phone video filmed from low down on a city road in bright daylight. Keep the animal's face, fur, markings, tail and size, and the road, the white fence with the pink panels, the trees and the buildings, exactly as in the image. 0-3 s: the pet walks toward the camera on its two hind legs, like a little person, with small bouncy steps and its front paws up, until its head and chest fill most of the frame. 3-5 s: it stops right in front of the lens, looks into the camera and waves one front paw from side to side: bye-bye. 5-8 s: it turns around and runs away down the middle of the road, still upright on its hind legs, its ears and tail bouncing, getting smaller and smaller until it is far away. The back of the pet has the same fur colors and markings as in the image. The camera stays low and almost still. Audio: a light, playful original tune and the soft patter of paws on the road; at the very end, a soft, warm off-screen voice whispers: "The end." The pet never speaks and its mouth does not move with the words. Exactly one animal, no people, no cars. No extra animals, no extra legs, no morphing. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark. ``` 4. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/the-end-ai-trend/create?variant=pet #### Variant: Human Settings: 1 photo (you, full body) · Seedance 2.5 · 8 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 101 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 8 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text A playful "the end" clip in one continuous shot with no cuts, like a real phone video filmed from about waist height in bright, soft daylight. Photorealistic. The person in the clip is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles) and the clothes from [Image 1], so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last; the hair and the clothes stay the same from the back and in the distance. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the performer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The place: a wide, empty city road of smooth grey asphalt in bright, soft daylight, with a low curb and a sidewalk on the far side; along the sidewalk runs a white metal barrier fence hung with soft pink panels and a few plain pink banners; behind it, green trees and tall city apartment buildings. 0-3 s: the person walks toward the camera down the middle of the road with light, playful steps, from a full-body view to a close shot of the face and chest. 3-5 s: they stop right in front of the lens, look into the camera with a cheeky smile and wave one hand from side to side: bye-bye. The whole face is large and sharp: exactly the face from [Image 1]. Never morph. 5-8 s: they turn around and run away down the road with a happy skip, getting smaller and smaller until they are far away. The camera stays at the same height and almost still. Audio: a light, playful original tune and quick footsteps on the road; at the very end, a soft, warm off-screen voice whispers: "The end." The person never speaks. Exactly one performer, no other people, no cars, no extra limbs. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/the-end-ai-trend/create ### Which photo works best? You need **one sharp photo**: of your pet for Pet, of yourself for Human. - **Pet:** the whole animal in view, from the ears to the paws, in daylight, with the eyes visible. The template stands your pet up on its hind legs, so the model needs to see the legs, the paws and the markings. Your pet does not need to stand up in the photo. - Dogs and cats both work. One animal per photo. - **Human:** full body or at least waist up, face clear and not covered, in good light. Your clothes and hair stay as in your photo. - Use your own pet, your own photo or a photo of an adult who agreed. Never a celebrity or a stranger. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Kling 3.0 (this template) | 8 s, 1080p + 1 scene photo, one tap | 46 | | Seedance 2.0 Fast (by hand in AI Video) | 8 s, 720p + 1 photo | 55 | | Veo 3.1 Fast (by hand in AI Video) | 8 s, 720p + 1 photo | 14 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in The End video, second by second? The template rebuilds the look of the trend: a wide, empty city road in soft daylight, a white barrier fence with pink panels on the far side, trees and tall buildings behind, filmed from low down like a phone held at your pet's height. | Time | Pet | Human | |---|---|---| | 0-3 s | Your pet walks toward the camera on its hind legs, like a little person, with small bouncy steps. | You walk up the middle of the road toward the camera with light, playful steps. | | 3-5 s | It stops right in front of the lens and waves one front paw: bye-bye. | You stop close to the lens, smile and wave one hand: bye-bye. | | 5-8 s | It turns around and runs off down the road, still upright, until it is small in the distance. | You turn around and run off down the road with a happy skip. | | The end | A soft off-screen voice whispers "The end." | The same. | The sound is made with the clip: a light, playful tune, paw steps or footsteps on the road, and the whisper at the end. There is no song to license. **Why does it work?** A pet that stands up and walks like a tiny person is funny on its own. The cheeky wave and the run make it a perfect exit, so the clip works as the last word in a post, a reply or a group chat. It is a dog walking like a human, and then it is simply gone. ## Pet or Human, Standard or Best: what is the difference? **Pet or Human?** Press "Create your own" and pick one. Pet is the trend as the ads show it: your dog or cat on its hind legs. Human puts you on the same road. Both are for one photo. | | Pet: Standard (default) | Pet: Best | Human | |---|---|---|---| | How it works | Nano Banana 2 stands your pet up on the road in a still, then Kling 3.0 plays the walk, the wave and the run | The same still, then Seedance 2.5 plays it | Seedance 2.5 makes the video straight from your photo, with no in-between picture, so your face stays yours | | Length | 8 s | 8 s | 8 s | | Frame | Vertical 9:16, 1080p | Vertical 9:16, 720p | Vertical 9:16, 720p | | Sound | Playful tune, paw steps, the whisper | The same | Playful tune, footsteps, the whisper | | Price | Lower | Higher | Shown on the button | The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything, and you write no prompt. So is it a dog walking on two legs meme or a cat walking on two legs meme? Both: one template, any pet. It is AI, so your dog walking on two legs in the video never had to stand up for real, and the same goes for a cat walking on two legs or a cat walking on hind legs. You will not find this exact clip as a dog walking on two legs video on TikTok yet: the dog walking on two legs TikTok clips there are mostly real dogs, and this AI version only shows up in app ads so far. ## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it? | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | Your pet drops onto four legs when it runs off | Standing pets are hard for AI video. Run it again, or pick Best. | | Your pet looks less like its photo from the back | Use a photo where the markings and the tail show clearly, then run it again. | | The wave is too small or comes late | Every run is a new take. Run it again. | | The whisper is missing or says something else | The sound is made with the clip, so it changes from run to run. Run it again. | | A second animal, a person or a car appears | The prompt asks for one pet on an empty road. Run it again or pick Best. | | The video model refuses the photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. | Results differ from run to run, so a second try often fixes the small things. ## How should you post it? Your clip comes with its own tune and the whispered "The end", so it is ready to post as it is. It works best as the last clip of a post or as a reply. **Captions** that fit: "Me leaving the group chat", "When the walk is over", "Bye, I'm off to the treat shop", "My cat when the vet says hello", or "Weekend is over. The end." **Hashtags:** #theend, #byebye and #standingcat (2,551 TikTok videos and 114.2 million views on 15 October 2026) or #standingdog (1,191 videos, 18.8 million views). Keep the platform's AI label on: a pet that walks on two legs is not real footage. Want more pet clips? Your dog or cat stands up and dances in the [AI dancing pet video](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-dancing-dog-video), grins and claps in the [clapping cat meme](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/clapping-cat-ai-video), or tells you off in [Hit the Road Dude](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hit-the-road-dude-ai-trend). ## The End: Wave Bye trend questions ### Can I make a video of my dog or cat waving goodbye? Yes. Pick Pet and add one photo of your pet. The AI stands it up on its hind legs, walks it up to the camera, has it wave one paw goodbye and then run off down the road. Dogs and cats both work. ### What is the end trend? It is an AI pet clip from October 2026: a dog or a cat walks up a city road on its hind legs, waves bye at the camera, turns and runs away. We call it The End because that is how it closes, with a whispered "The end." You can make the end trend with a dog, a cat or yourself. ### Is this an AI cat video or an AI dog video? Both. The template makes an AI cat video from a cat photo and an AI dog video from a dog photo, with the same road, the same wave and the same run. ### Can AI show my dog walking on hind legs? Yes. In the clip your dog walking on hind legs looks like a dog walking like a human: small upright steps, the front paws up, then an upright run. It is an AI effect, so your dog does not need to stand up for the photo. A sharp photo of the whole body works best. ### Can I use it as a dog waving goodbye meme? Yes. Post it as a dog waving bye meme in a chat, a reply or the end of a story. Any cute dog waving goodbye works, and so does any other animal waving goodbye: a cat or another pet whose legs show in the photo. It works as a funny dog waving bye bye clip or a "waving dog, bye" reply. ### Can I get a waving dog GIF? The template makes a video, not a GIF: an 8-second MP4 of your dog waving, with sound. If you want a dog waving goodbye GIF, a GIF maker can turn the video into one. It is a cat waving clip too if you use a cat photo. ### Is there a CapCut template for the end trend on TikTok? If you search "the end trend" on TikTok, you mostly find CapCut outro templates: a "The End" card that closes a photo recap. That is a different thing. This clip is not a CapCut template; here you add one photo and press Generate. ### Can I make an AI dog walking video or an AI cat walking video? Yes. AI dog walking and AI cat walking are what this template does: your pet walks upright up the road, waves, and walks or runs away. The walk is the first three seconds, the run the last three. ### Is this the dog walks away meme? It is close: the dog walks away at the end, like a dog runs away meme, but first it says bye. The dog waves bye and runs away down the road, and the clip ends there. Think of it as a dog that says bye and runs away on purpose. ### Is this an AI pet video generator? For this one AI pet trend, yes. It is an AI dog video generator and an AI pet video generator in one template: one photo in, an AI pet video out. For other AI dog trends and pet trends, see the related templates below. ### How do I make an AI video of my dog? Press "Create your own", pick Pet, pick Standard or Best and add one clear photo of your dog. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. MakeViral makes a still of your dog standing on the road, then the 8-second video: the AI makes my dog walk, wave and run, in one take. It waits in your Library when it is ready. ### Can I be in the video myself? Yes. Pick Human and add one photo of yourself, full body or waist up. You walk up the road, wave bye at the camera and run off, and your face and clothes come from your photo. Use your own photo or a photo of an adult who agreed. ### How long is the video, and does it have sound? 8 seconds, vertical 9:16, as an MP4 file: 1080p with Pet Standard, 720p with Pet Best and Human. It has its own sound: a light, playful tune, paw steps or footsteps, and a soft voice that whispers "The end" at the close. It is an AI waving goodbye video, so keep the AI label on when you post it. ### Can I use a photo of someone else's pet or a celebrity? Use your own pet, your own photo or a photo of an adult who said yes. Never a celebrity or a stranger. The clip can look real, so never post it as real footage. ### Does The End video cost credits? Yes. Each video costs credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. Pet Standard (Kling 3.0) costs less than Pet Best (Seedance 2.5). If a video fails, the credits come back. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [AI Dog Dancing Video: Make Your Pet Dance](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-dancing-dog-video): Your dog or cat stands up on its hind legs at home and does a happy, bouncy dance.
