Dog owners know the struggle — just when you think you’re fully prepared for a walk, your pup finds a way to prove you wrong. You might expect a quick stroll, only to end up in a full sprint chasing after them. Or you come prepared with two poop bags, assuming that’s plenty, only to realize your dog has other plans. One dog recently gave his owner a surprise mid-walk, and the moment has left everyone laughing and nodding in understanding.
Video of dog doing his business thrice when his human has 2 poop bags is so relatable
A video posted by Instagram user @gandalfthecorgi perfectly captures a classic dog-owner dilemma. The clip features a Corgi out on a walk, accompanied by an on-screen caption that reads, “On my way to? 3 times when Dad only brought two bags.” The implication is clear — this pup had some unexpected business to handle, and his human was caught off guard. In the caption, his owner humorously writes, “He just knows,” suggesting that his dog might have done this on purpose. Whether intentional or just unlucky timing, the situation is one that many pet parents know all too well.
The comments section quickly filled up with fellow pet owners sharing their own experiences. One dog account wrote, “My Pop’s rule is three bags.” To which the Corgi’s owner jokingly replied, “Then he’ll be ready for four poops.” Another person chimed in with a creative solution, saying, “We have been very creative in a pinch. Leaves, palm tree frawns, sticks…” Others admitted to always being overprepared, with one comment reading, “This is why all my pockets in all my jackets are filled to the brim with poop bags.” And, of course, one user had the question that many Corgi owners can relate to: “Why the heck do corgis poop so much???”
The frequent bathroom breaks could be due to Corgis’ fast metabolism and high energy levels. As active dogs originally bred for herding, they tend to have efficient digestive systems, leading to more frequent trips, or in this case, surprise walks. Nonetheless, one thing is clear — when it comes to dog walks, it’s always best to expect the unexpected.
