Dash the Doberman is quite the drama king, and his latest story proves it once again. After his favorite frog toy, Froggy, had to ‘go under the knife,’ Dash was left looking devastated, like a soap opera star in shock. Dobermans are known for being surprisingly sensitive, and Dash is highly expressive.
In this follow-up video, his human introduces a brand-new friend: a squeaky purple dinosaur. Watching Dash cautiously check out the toy, give his seal of approval, and finally accept his replacement is both hilarious and incredibly sweet.

While the first Froggy video went viral, this sequel is a cozy continuation of Dash’s toy saga. Fans quickly tuned in to see how he would react to his new options. It begins with Dash’s human sitting with him to deliver an update.
The first news is bad: “The bad news is that we were not able to find a replacement for Froggy,” she says. “There are no more Froggies anywhere to be found.” Dash’s expressive face seems to say, “Wut the heck,” a perfect reflection of his inherent, theatrical Doberman personality. His patience, however, shines through as he waits for the promised good news.
His mom brightens. “The good news is that I did still find some toys that I think would be fair replacements for Dash.” Dash appears to signal, “I will be judge of this,” as she presents the alternatives. First up is a beach ball, which gets immediate canine approval after a quick sniff. She also shows an antler, which Dash has already torn into because he is “impatient” — a nod to the powerful, active nature of the breed.
The final, and most crucial, item is introduced: “We’ve got a new dinosaur.” The purple toy is squeaked and handed over. Dash quickly begins playing with the dino, looking pleased with his new companion. However, one viewer joked that he was “on the fence with Dino. We’re still holding out for Froggie 2.0.” Let’s keep our fingers crossed; until then, there’s always Dino.
