The tiniest dogs can make you laugh the hardest, especially when their owners come up with funny ways to show how small they are. Louis, a lovable Dachshund, has become the star of one such moment. In a recent Instagram video, his owner came up with a funny challenge: comparing Louis’s height to random objects found around the house. Instead of feeling like a silly gimmick, the game turned into an oddly satisfying watch — partly because Louis sits so patiently, and partly because the comparisons feel more like inside jokes every pet parent can appreciate.
Owner checks if objects are taller than Dachshund in video
The video has been blowing up on social media because it’s such a simple idea, yet ridiculously funny in execution. As the task starts, the question “Is it taller than my Dachshund?” appears on the screen. Louis sits still. First, a bag of popcorn is put next to him. It wins because it’s a little higher than him. Next up is a paper towel roll, but this time Louis sits proudly taller and claims the win.
Then the comparisons get even better: a vase filled with peonies, a sleek PlayStation 5, and finally a bottle of tequila. All of them tower over him, though Louis remains unbothered. He poses next to each object, and his patience makes the video infinitely funnier.
The comments are full of people who loved the funny idea. One person wrote, “my favorite game ever.” Another user joked that the video was “short shaming my boy.” They added, “What he lacks in size he makes up for in being a legend.” Another user suggested the owner should check his body length next. A final comment summed up the video perfectly. It simply read, “Very useful information, thank you for this.”
With over 21,000 likes, Louis has officially cemented his spot as a “short king” of Instagram, proving you don’t need height to win hearts — just a lot of personality and some very short legs.
