Dachshund’s Hilarious Dash to Carrier Signals It’s Time to Go Home

Roman’s Quick Goodbye: A Dachshund’s Dash for Home

Roman, an energetic dachshund, has charmed TikTok viewers with a short but unmistakable message—he was ready to go home. In the now-viral clip, posted by his owner under the handle @roman03172021, the little dog is seen sprinting directly into his carrier after a visit to his grandmother’s house. Without hesitation, he turns back toward the camera, his expression reading loud and clear: “Let’s go.”

The video, paired with the caption “Bye Grammy, I want to go home!”, has attracted over 418,000 views and more than 63,000 likes. Many viewers couldn’t help but relate, flooding the comments with stories of their own dachshunds who, despite enjoying trips and visits, always seem eager to return to their favorite human’s side.

Dachshunds are famously devoted to one person, often forming an intense bond that makes them happiest in familiar surroundings. While they can enjoy adventures, their attachment to routine and home is a hallmark of the breed. Roman’s swift leap into his carrier left no doubt that, for him, the visit was over.

One viewer wrote, “They are so loyal to their human,” while another joked, “That baby said get me up out of here.”

This loyalty is rooted in the breed’s history. Originating in Germany, dachshunds were bred for hunting and are known for their intelligence, alertness, and sensitivity to changes in their environment. These traits make them affectionate companions but can also lead to a certain stubbornness—especially when they decide it’s time to go.

For Roman, the afternoon at Grandma’s may have been pleasant, but nothing compared to the comfort of his own space. Without so much as a bark or whimper, his determined sprint spoke volumes. In a single, quick motion, he conveyed exactly what he wanted—a speedy trip back home.

Roman’s brief but telling moment is a perfect example of the unspoken understanding between dogs and their people. It’s a reminder that for some pets, home is not just a place, but the heart of their world. And in Roman’s case, that heart was calling him back loud and clear.
