If you’ve ever doubted a dog’s ability to feel big emotions, Dash the Doberman is here to prove otherwise. Known for their loyalty and sensitivity behind their sleek, tough exterior, Dobies often surprise people with just how tender they can be. In Dash’s case, the floodgates of all that love opened when his favorite toy, Froggy, had to have “emergency surgery.” His human filmed what happened next, which was a combination of drama, parental devotion, and comic gold.
Doberman is ‘STRESSED’ while watching his frog toy undergo surgery in video
A clip posted by @itsdashandthor captures a dramatic moment of a canine with an ailing toy. The clip opens with Dash’s human carefully stitching up Froggy. Dash sits inches away, eyes locked on the “operating table,” whining like a family member in the waiting room. His human writes in the caption, “Sound on to hear this drama king.” You really have to hear him to believe it. His expressions say it all — every poke of the needle and every stitch feels like it’s happening to him, too.
The story didn’t end there. In a follow-up video, Dash’s mom breaks the news with a straight face: “Froggy’s surgery was successful. However, there were complications during the post-op recovery…RIP Froggy.” Dash’s reaction steals the show. His eyes widen, his head tilts, and you can almost hear him thinking it can’t be true. It’s like watching a soap opera unfold, but starring one very dramatic Doberman.
Viewers are loving every second — over 145,000 likes and comments flooding in. One joked, “He should have never been allowed in the operating room.” Another wrote, “Judging by the look of concern, he won’t be ripping up that toy again.”
Drama king or not, Dash’s emotional rollercoaster shows just how much love dogs pour into even the simplest things. Froggy may be gone, but if this video is any proof, Dash will never forget his little green friend.
