The Hilarious Dachshund: Winston’s Arctic Freeze Adventure
A Dachshund’s Arctic Freeze Discontent
Laughter has erupted across social media as a comical video portrays a dachshund’s humorous reaction to the prospect of venturing outdoors amidst an “arctic freeze.”
This viral video, shared on TikTok, has garnered over 560,000 views since its debut on December 24, introducing the online world to Winston, the dachshund with a deep affinity for warmth and indoor comfort.
Winston’s Stand Against the Arctic Chill
In this endearing yet amusing clip, Winston’s owner attempts to coax him into the cold outdoors, a task that proves easier said than done. As the owner pulls on Winston’s harness and leash, the determined dachshund remains firmly entrenched in his cozy daybed. The result is a delightful spectacle of Winston’s owner dragging the entire donut-shaped bed across the floor, with Winston himself maintaining an unyielding position.
The caption humorously reads: “Trying to get your dachshund to go outside during an arctic freeze.”
Adding a touch of humor, the video’s creator, who goes by the moniker @winston_da_ween on TikTok, playfully remarked, “I traded in East Coast freeze for West Coast rain this year (I’m wearing a harness).”
Meet Winston, the TikTok Sensation
Winston, the star of this endearing episode, resides in Los Angeles County with his loving owners, Christina Kirkman and her partner. Together, they curate the TikTok account that chronicles Winston’s daily escapades. With over 1.4 million followers, their account has cultivated a dedicated online community enchanted by Winston’s charming antics.
The Dachshund’s Cold-Weather Quirk
Dachshunds, often referred to as sausage dogs, are characterized by their short stature and elongated bodies. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), miniature dachshunds typically reach a height of only 5 or 6 inches, while their standard-size counterparts can attain up to 9 inches. This relatively diminutive stature might explain why many dachshunds, like Winston, exhibit an aversion to walks in cold, wet weather or deep snow.
The Amusing TikTok Reactions
Since gracing TikTok’s screens on December 24 through the @winston_da_ween account, the video has amassed over 20,000 likes and garnered more than 100 comments. TikTok users have flooded the comments section with their humorous takes on this viral canine moment.
“I have a dachshund, and this is nothing but the truth,” one user affirmed.
Another chimed in, “Winston, I can relate to that with every fiber of my being.”
