It’s upsetting when you don’t get your way. Most of us are able to keep our emotions in check and power through our disappointments. But what happens when a pet fails to entice his little brother to play? There’s no soldiering on for this Doodle.
In a hilarious clip on TikTok, Gryffin, the Fluffy Doodle, throws an epic tantrum when his adorable Dachshund brother has no interest in playing his games. This Doodle is very in touch with his emotions and isn’t afraid to put them on full display. Take a look!
“Being the drama is a full-time job,” Gryffin’s family captioned the clip.
Too funny. This Doodle even kicks up the rug; he’s in such shock and disbelief at being dismissed by his sibling!

“That’s the cutest temper tantrum I’ve ever seen! 🥰,” said a fan.
“What a fluffy baby. 🥰🥰🥰,” noted another.
It’s so true. Our pets can be large and strong, but still soft and sensitive on the inside.

This Doodle’s hops are the absolute best. It’s almost as if he’s trying to convince the Dachshund, “I’m so much fun, I promise! Check out these jumps!”
My other favorite part is when he looks at the person holding the camera like, “Seriously, do you believe how cute I’m acting and this guy still won’t budge?!”
Poor Gryffin! We’re sure there are dozens of dogs out there who’d give their favorite chew toy to have a playdate with this pup!
Are Dachshunds Playful?
Watching the Dachshund shun the Doodle’s invitation makes us wonder: Are Dachshunds playful? It turns out that most of the time, yes, they are! This breed, known for short statures, is usually spunky and social, according to the American Kennel Club.
They’re also known to be good with other dogs. So what’s going on here? Based on the fact that the Dachshund is standing and then sitting on a bed, we have to imagine it’s nap time. Maybe these two played earlier in the day, and now the Dachshund is worn out. Not all pups have the same amount of energy! If the little one tried to keep up with the big one, it could be wearying!
Here’s hoping that the Dachshund gets a good rest and is ready to play with the Doodle again soon!
