Video: Dachshund’s Reaction on Realizing Owner Is Just Pretending to Pet Her Is Unmissable

Kiwi the Dachshund isn’t afraid of taking matters into her own paws when she’s not getting what she wants, as is evident in this video. She is clearly smart enough to know when something is not right.

In this clip, her human pretends to pet her — but the Doxie quickly realizes something’s off. Her expressions go from calm to confused, then straight to determined. Every tilt of her head, yawn, and nudge shows that she won’t settle for anything other than “real” pets. It shows that dogs might take a minute to get the joke, but they always do.

Owner pretends to pet Dachshund until she notices in video

This video of a Dachshund has been making the rounds on the internet. It starts with Kiwi the Doxie’s human sitting nearby, moving her hand in the familiar rhythm of petting. However, here’s the trick — she never actually touches the pup.

At first, Kiwi plays along. Her little face is calm, maybe even unsuspecting. Then comes the realization. Her expression shifts into something that practically reads, “Wait a second…what’s happening here?” The text overlay even spells it out with, “U good bro.”

Baffled, Kiwi then sniffs her human. She wants to check if everything is okay with her. She can’t understand why she would not want to pet her. After a stretch and a long yawn, she decides to take matters into her own paws — literally.

She nudges at her human’s hand, determined to close the gap. The text says, “Let me show u how it’s done.” She keeps prodding, and her human gives in. She lightly pets Kiwi, and the dog has a triumphant look on her face. The onscreen text reads, “There u go.”

The video has over 13K likes, and the comments are full of people who were entertained by her antics. One user joked, “Took her wayyyy too long tho.” Another asked, “How can you even control not to touch?” Many just wanted her to be shown love, with a commenter writing, “Kiss herrrr.”
