A fluffy dog has left the internet in stitches after a clip of them struggling to walk across a road as strong winds blew against them went viral. While the video will elicit a chuckle from anyone having a bad day, it can’t be ignored that it’s dangerous for a dog to be outside during harsh, windy weather.
Watch the fluffy dog vs. wind video
The video — shared by TikTok account @underated simpsons — shows the fluffy pup determined to get to the other side of the road. The only challenge? Heavy winds.
It’s an extremely windy day, and the dog’s fluffy fur is being tousled by the gusty breeze. The brave pup struggles to remain steady while walking carefully with their hind legs slightly lifted.
The viral clip also shows their ears completely flattened and facing the opposite direction, indicating how strong the wind was. At one point, the pup even poops while walking.
It’s unclear whether the dog made it to the other side safely and whether they pooped out of anxiety. What we know for sure is this brave pup was willing to risk it all to put the gusty winds to shame.

Since it was uploaded on TikTok, the video has attracted over 188K likes and more than 1800 comments. As usual, netizens had a lot of hilarious things to say about the clip.
One TikTok user commented: “I am CRYING!!! The wind turned that poor dog into a crytid.”
Another person joked: “The dog is taking a windy dump.”
A third comment read: “This is what is called the term: No matter how big the wind storm hits, I will survive and strive hard.”
As a dog owner, it’s important to ensure your canine friend is indoors in the event of harsh, windy weather. That’s because, during such weather, they are at risk of being hit and injured by flying debris, and can also experience a rapid loss of body heat. Moreover, exposure to strong winds can irritate and damage your dog’s sensitive ears.
