Every pet parent knows that sometimes, a little white lie is necessary for the greater good. You can’t exactly tell your dog, “We’re going to the vet,” and expect them to hop happily into the car. So, you say something vague like “We’re going for a ride!” or “Let’s get treats!” and hope they don’t catch on until it’s too late. For one Mini Dachshund named Pancho, that harmless fib turned into what he now considers the ultimate act of “betrayal,” and his dramatic reaction in a video has the internet howling with laughter.
Mini Dachshund faces absolute ‘betrayal’ when owners trick him into vet visit
Pancho, a Mini Dachshund, has built a loyal following online for his sassy attitude and hilarious “commentary” on daily life. His latest video, however, might be his most relatable yet. The clip opens with an AI-generated voiceover narrating Pancho’s internal thoughts as he explains what he “thought” was going to be a special day out. According to the dramatic little dog, he believed his owners were taking him for a manicure, perhaps with an “Essie polish” and a soothing paw massage to match his diva status.
But the excitement quickly turns to disbelief when he realizes they’re headed to the vet. From that point, the video captures Pancho’s mock outrage as he recounts the “horror” that followed. He describes being “stabbed with needles,” having his hair trimmed, and getting weighed, a process he found deeply unfair after being told he was “too skinny.” The voiceover humorously adds that he could pass as “the face of Ozempic,” before slyly quipping, “not that they could afford me.”
Pancho doesn’t hold back in his complaints either. He jokes that his humans tried to “bribe” him with a piece of processed cheese, as if that would make up for the ordeal. By the end of his rant, he vows that next time he’ll be “putting his paw down.” He signs off with a dramatic but affectionate “XO, Pancho,” as if closing a diary entry about heartbreak.
Viewers were quick to rally behind the wronged Dachshund. “You’re so brave buddy,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “Pancho you’ve got the right idea! However getting out of the vet’s is kinda tricky!” Others couldn’t stop laughing at his exaggerated “sigh” on the scale. And one follower summed up what everyone was thinking: “I love Pancho so much.” Honestly, who doesn’t?
