Christina Kirkman probably never expected to be held hostage on her own furniture by a three-pound puppy. Back in 2021, Winston was in that teething stage where every walk through the house felt slightly risky. A throwback video from @itsyaboy_winston is all about the moment his mom realized she was no longer the boss of the house. Winston was obsessed with biting her ankles, and he wasn’t taking no for an answer. This future “Dachshund of the Year” was an absolute menace at the time, with a tiny body and zero remorse.

The standoff starts with Christina Kirkman standing on the couch like she’s hiding from a mouse. Then we see her point a warning finger and plead with the tiny terror to “stop it.” Winston, the Dachshund, just looks up at her, unmoved, like he’s waiting for his turn to respond. Meanwhile, the dad is behind the camera, being a total traitor, whispering “get her” to egg the little guy on. As Kirkman later joked in the comments, “2021 was a rough year for my ankles.”
Eventually, she sees a window of opportunity and decides to make a run for it. Before we know it, she leaps off the sofa and sprints toward the other corner of the room. Winston is way too quick for her. He immediately takes off after her, short legs working overtime to keep up.
When he finally catches up, he just stands there wagging his tail. He looks genuinely confused about why his favorite human is running away. Watching a grown woman get outmaneuvered by a dog that small is genuinely unhinged. He has no idea his version of affection hurts as much as it does. All he wants is to play with his favorite target.
More than 49,100 people liked the video, many clearly reliving their own teething nightmares. One viewer joked that she looked like she was avoiding a tiny shark. Others suggested that “air jail” was the only solution for that kind of mischief.
