The video then cuts to him sitting neatly like a loaf of bread, before switching gears again as he digs enthusiastically in the dirt like a dedicated \u201cgardener.\u201d Each short clip adds a new layer to Bao\u2019s personality. It shows how his everyday puppy behavior has been turned into a series of amusing character roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The fun continues as Bao curls himself up into a tight ball, earning the nickname \u201cpretzel.\u201d Later, he sprawls out in bed, likened to a bedbug. In another scene, he\u2019s caught stealing his mom\u2019s jeans and running off with them. This prompts his owner to jokingly label him a kleptomaniac. The video also shows Bao hopping through the snow like a \u201csnow bunny,\u201d and racing through the house like a \u201cracecar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the caption, Bao\u2019s owner says they hadn\u2019t realized adopting Bao meant welcoming such a wide range of personalities. They note that Dachshunds are known for being expressive and full of character. They conclude by saying that Bao\u2019s silly, goofy behavior has quickly become a daily source of laughter for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Viewers were quick to share their reactions in the comments. One person joked that Bao looked like an \u201cexpert gardener,\u201d while another simply called him \u201ca 100% cutie pie.\u201d Others praised his wide range of \u201cskills,\u201d with one commenter noting that Dachshunds are special dogs in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/news\/205527-dog-work-video-instagram-video\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Video: Dog Makes Himself Useful Around the House;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Video: Dog Makes Himself Useful Around the House<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DogTime;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video posted by @baotheweenie features Bao, a Dachshund puppy who appears determined to take on as many roles as possible.
