There’s nothing quite like the moment you walk through the front door and are greeted by a tail-wagging, overjoyed pup who acts like you’ve returned from a month-long expedition. Even if all you did was take out the trash. For dogs, the “welcome home” moment is sacred, and their enthusiasm is unmatched. One video takes this familiar scene to a whole new level of adorable, showing just how far dogs will go to patiently earn their spot in the cuddle queue.
Instagram video shows Dachshund waiting for his turn to be loved by dad
A recent video from the Instagram account @thedachshunds.fam is melting hearts online. It features two adorable Longhaired Dachshunds greeting their dad as he walks through the door after work. The text overlay on the clip reads, “When you have to wait in line to greet your dad coming home from work.”
In the video, one of the Dachshunds is already in dad’s arms, happily soaking up all the attention and pets. Meanwhile, the other puppy stands close by, watching patiently with hopeful eyes. Instead of pushing his way in, he simply waits for his turn, visibly eager for his moment of affection. When his dad finally scoops him up, the little pup doesn’t hold back. He immediately showers his owner with kisses and tail wags, thrilled that it’s now his time to be loved.
At the time of writing, the reel has pulled in over 4 million views and 403K likes. One commenter wrote, “You gotta hold them at the same time so they don’t feel left out.” Another added, “I can’t do this, I have to drop to the ground and let both of my dachshunds attack me with kisses simultaneously.” Others simply couldn’t get over the sweetness of the moment. “Sweet baby weens!!! No one can have a bad day with these waiting at home,” one person said.
The video’s success is no surprise. It combines two of the internet’s favorite things: cute dogs and wholesome moments. But beyond that, it captures something very relatable: the quiet loyalty of dogs, and how even in their excitement, they wait their turn just to feel loved.
