You might have come across a dog being nosy, but an Instagram video shows Junie, a tiny dog, who will apparently do anything to get the gossip, even if it means standing up like a meerkat. The Dachshund‘s owner and Instagram user @junie.thewiener shared the dog’s video, proving nobody can beat Junie when it comes to being nosy. And it has been making people laugh because it is such a “Dachshund thing” to do.
Dog stands on her hind legs when she gets too curious about her surroundings
The video starts with the nosy dog sitting in the front passenger seat, totally calm, wearing an adorable onesie covered in little cartoon Dachshunds. Then, in one sudden moment, she lifts herself up onto her hind legs and stands straight up, almost like she forgot she’s a dog and tried being a person for a second. The on‑screen caption reads, “when you’re nosy but your legs are too short,” which pretty much explains the whole situation.
Junie doesn’t wobble or lose her balance. She holds the pose like she is used to it, with her paws tucked in and her head rising up, as she just stares ahead trying to note every detail she can. Her owner asked in the caption, “anybody else’s dachshund do this??” joking that “this can’t be good for their backs.”
Dachshund owners flooded the comment section right away. One wrote, “Junie’s ADORABLE and SO talented,” while another person commented, “With that core she could be a Pilates instructor.” A third viewer added, “Omg this is the cutest ever,” while another joked, “I love their ‘meerkat’ stand.”
Some viewers wanted to know where her outfit came from, others joked about the breed’s short legs and long bodies, and a few said their dogs do the exact same thing, right down to the “meerkat” look.
The adorable video is only a few seconds long, but it brought viewers together while clarifying that the dog is nosy and wants to know everything happening around her — and if she has to stand up like a tiny person to see it, she will.
