Determined Dachshund Goes Viral After Uncovering His Own Pool
A mischievous dachshund named Charlie has become an online sensation after his owner captured his hilarious determination on camera. The three-year-old pup, who lives in Germany with his owner, Philipp Poput, was filmed single-pawedly removing the cover from an outdoor paddling pool so he could enjoy splash time on his own terms. The clip quickly went viral on TikTok, earning over one million views and sparking laughter worldwide.
Poput explained that Charlie’s antics reflect his personality perfectly. Like many dachshunds, Charlie is equal parts playful, stubborn, and resourceful. “He’s curious, independent, and very determined for such a small dog,” Poput said. “This video shows exactly who he is—if he wants something, he’ll make it happen himself.”
In the viral clip, posted to @supersausage_charlie, the dachshund can be seen tugging insistently at the pool cover until it finally slips free, granting him access to the cool water beneath. Viewers couldn’t get enough of his persistence, flooding the comments with playful remarks. Some joked about whether Charlie planned to put the cover back on when he was finished, while others praised him as a “determined doxie” and a “self-sufficient pup.”
The overwhelming response has surprised Poput, who said he never imagined such a simple video would spark so much joy. “It’s been amazing to see how many people found it both funny and relatable. Charlie’s little act of stubbornness started a lighthearted conversation that reached so many people.”
For Charlie, the day’s mission ended with a refreshing dip, but for viewers, it was a reminder of the dachshund breed’s intelligence, persistence, and charm. His antics prove that even the smallest dogs have big personalities—and sometimes, they know exactly how to get what they want.
