Dogs can be absolutely hilarious, especially when they have a secret they don’t want anyone to know about. Hudson, a Corgi, has one habit that he would have liked to keep to himself. However, Instagram user @hudsonthefluffycorgi revealed the pup’s floor-licking behavior in a video, catching the Corgi off guard. Hudson’s behavior is typical of curious dogs, but his quick pivot from sneaky to normal is what caught viewers’ attention.
Video: Corgi’s reaction to owner catching him licking the floor is hilarious
In the video, the Corgi is stretched out on the floor, “loafing” as the breed often does. He quietly licks the floor tile, unaware that his owner is watching and filming him. Hudson works away at a shiny patch on the tile, discreetly letting out his tongue and cherishing the taste of his new discovery.
However, when the pet parent moves closer to him, he realizes he was being watched. As such, he becomes alert, with his eyes widening. The Corgi freezes as if nothing unusual had just happened.
“Caught my dog doing…whatever this is,” jokes the owner in the video’s on-screen text. The post’s caption emphasizes Hudson’s reaction when he had been caught: “When he realized I saw him.” It’s that split-second switch from covert licking of the floor to turning into an innocent floof that caught viewers’ eyes.
Corgi parents and Hudson’s appreciators flooded the comment section. One viewer confessed, “My corgi ALSO soulfully licks the floor. And the pillows. And the rugs. And his paws. And anything he can fit his tongue into.”
Another Corgi owner chimed in, “Omg my fluffy load does it too. It’s a corgi thing for sure.” Meanwhile, a user imagined Hudson’s unspoken critique of housekeeping: “He’s sending you subtle hints about the cleanliness of the floors.”
A few commenters rolled in with culinary theories, with one writing, “Must find chicken crumbs from last week.” Another joked, “Some sausage fel on the floor 3 days before and NOW its time to taste whats left.” All in all, the viewers found delight in discovering Hudson’s secret.
The Corgi’s video stands out not only because of his hilarious act of secretly licking the floor, but also because he is the classic example of how curious and exploratory dogs can be.
