Dog’s Funny Reaction and Priceless Side-Eye at Crying Baby Goes Viral

Dachshund’s Viral Side-Eye at New Baby Has TikTok Cracking Up

A dachshund named Roo has become the star of TikTok after her hilarious reaction to meeting her family’s newest member. In a clip shared on August 26 by @camila_eckler, Roo looked anything but thrilled when introduced to the household’s newborn baby.

The video shows Roo sitting beside her owner and the crying infant, doing her best to ignore the situation. At first, she pressed her snout against the chair and closed her eyes as though hoping it would all go away. But as the wails grew louder, Roo opened her eyes and shot the camera a withering side-eye that perfectly captured her disapproval. Viewers were quick to joke that her face clearly said, “I didn’t sign up for this.”

Experts note that Roo’s response is common among pets welcoming a new baby. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, dogs can become stressed by changes in routine, sleep disruptions, and new noises in the home. While some adapt quickly, others may need weeks to settle in. The good news is that Roo has shown no aggression toward the baby, a sign that bonds may form over time.

Breed traits also play a role. Dachshunds are small but bold, often independent and strong-willed. The American Kennel Club notes they can be moderately good with children, and once comfortable, their sturdy, playful nature often makes them great family companions.

Roo’s viral moment has captured hearts across TikTok, racking up over 1.4 million views and nearly 300,000 likes. Commenters flooded the video with jokes, dubbing her glare the ultimate “look of betrayal.” One user wrote, “She said: Please tell me this is just a bad dream.” Another quipped, “Return to sender.” Others encouraged Roo, predicting she and the baby will soon become inseparable “partners in crime.”

For now, Roo may still be adjusting, but her unforgettable side-eye has earned her internet fame and plenty of sympathy. Her story is a funny yet relatable reminder of how pets process big family changes—in their own unique, and sometimes dramatic, ways.
