This video of a dog chasing a crab turns a simple beach walk into a tiny, hilarious showdown. In the dog-and-crab clip, two dachshunds freeze, lean in, and then rethink everything when the “enemy” scoots sideways.
The moment feels like a cartoon scene, helped by the “SpongeBob SquarePants” theme playing underneath. It is sweet, quick, and very relatable if your dog treats every new creature like a mystery. You can almost hear them asking what that thing is.
Dogs appear confused by the crab’s movement in funny video
The Instagram page doubletrouble.daschunds shared the reel about 14 hours ago. It had four comments as of now. The caption says it was their first time seeing a crab. It shows their dachshunds, Churro and Donut, meeting a small crab on the sand. The account bio says the two “weenies” live in Mozambique. The dogs stay on leashes as they inch closer, then hop back. Meanwhile, the crab holds its ground and scuttles away in short bursts.
The background audio comes from The Toonosaurs’ take on the “SpongeBob SquarePants” theme. That playful sound matches the dogs’ stop-and-start movements. Dachshunds were bred to dig and chase, so the curiosity checks out. Still, the pair looks more confused than fearless here.
In the next beats, one pup lowers its head and studies the crab like a puzzle. Then it steps forward, ears perked, and pauses again. The crab darts sideways, leaving fresh tracks near old footprints and paw prints. The second dachshund moves in from the edge of the frame, as if backing up its sibling.
The camera keeps a safe distance, so the crab gets space to escape. By the end, the dogs seem to accept that the tiny beach resident will not play. The Instagram video lands because it captures that first-time wonder, with a little jumpy bravery. Fans replied fast. One wrote, “????????”. Another said, “???”. A third added, “??”.
