You can always count on small dogs to take their jobs way too seriously, and this viral TikTok is proof. In a video posted by @buzzboucherrr, a tiny French bulldog named Buzz takes on a giant Halloween skeleton, as if he’s the self-appointed head of the neighborhood watch.
The clip starts with the enormous decoration—a 12-foot skeleton torso sticking out of someone’s yard, towering like it’s mid-rise from the underworld. Enter Buzz, all ten inches of him, standing his ground like the bravest security guard on four paws. He lets out a few firm barks, throws in a solid stare-down, and that’s it. Situation handled. No one’s haunting this block on his watch.
It’s both hilarious and endearing how serious he looks about the whole thing. His little paws are planted, his ears perked, and he’s absolutely convinced this is a real threat. Meanwhile, the skeleton isn’t moving an inch, which only fuels Buzz’s confidence. You can practically hear his inner monologue saying, “Yeah! That’s what I thought.”
The comments section only made the video better. TikTok user @dogmommaxine wrote, “Buzz really said not on my street.” @itsjustnate added, “That skeleton didn’t stand a chance.” And @spookyseasonqueen summed it up best: “Neighborhood watch but make it Frenchie.”
“Buzz Really Said, ‘Not on My Street'”
French bulldogs are known for their oversized confidence, and Buzz is clearly carrying the whole breed’s reputation on his tiny shoulders. They’ve always had that tough-dog energy despite being absolute softies at home. Buzz’s commitment to the role of protector is equal parts brave and ridiculous—in the best way possible.
What makes this video even funnier is how relatable it feels. Anyone with a dog knows they’d pull the same stunt. I’ve personally caught my dog, Gus, barking at everything from snowmen to inflatable Santas, convinced he’s saving the world one plastic decoration at a time. Buzz just happens to be doing it in true fall fashion—with a skeleton as his rival.
The best part? Buzz didn’t even need backup. Just a bark or three, a little side-eye, and that skeleton knew who was boss.
