Bath time for dogs is rarely smooth sailing, but in Winston’s case, the drama doesn’t come from him — it’s all from his mom. The Instagram clip that’s racked up over 84,000 likes shows just how unpredictable giving your pup a wash can be. Winston, a Dachshund, is a pint-sized bundle of patience. He does everything right while his human fumbles through a series of splashy accidents.
From slipping on spilled water to accidentally spraying herself, she calls bathing her little guy an “Olympic sport.” The truth? Winston is the real champ here.
Mom has a tough time by herself while bathing Dachshund in video
This video is all over the internet, and people have big feelings about who is really causing the chaos. It starts with Winston being carried into the shower cubicle, looking calm and collected. On the other hand, his mom accidentally sprays herself with the running shower before slipping on the wet floor. “Bathing my Dachshund is an Olympic sport,” reads the on-screen text — and it’s hard to disagree.
Once she regroups, Winston gets his fur wet while his mom sternly warns, “Don’t you dare move.” To his credit, Winston stays put like a perfect gentleman. The shampoo goes on smoothly, but chaos strikes again when the hand shower suddenly sprays water all over Mom. “Really, Win? Did you do that on purpose?” she laughs, though it’s clear Winston is innocent.
After conditioner and rinsing, Winston emerges squeaky clean. There’s a hilarious close-up of him looking unimpressed, almost as if to say, “I had nothing to do with that madness.” Once out of the bathroom, he happily rubs himself dry on the living room rug before joining his sibling for some well-deserved playtime.
With comments rolling in calling Winston “an angel” and his mom “the real chaos,” this video only goes to show that bath time mayhem doesn’t always come from the dog. As one person wrote, “Winston, is it your bath time or your moms?”
