  3. Onion says:

    He’s like Bender

    • A Noun says:

      Frenchies have such a big-head to liddle-body ratio at that age, he is indeed like Bender. Soon enough he’ll learn to flip himself.

  4. Mandy says:

    At first I was like, “That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!”, but then I was like, “Is this dog retarded?”

  5. krzykunt says:

    awwwww poor thing.

  6. Sammiet says:

    Help him, for pete’s sake!

  7. hee hee says:

    sumbuddiee turn meh obr!!!!

  8. MrCorvin says:

    More like a Rockin’ Puppy.

  9. Powell says:

    THATS MEAN!!, hes like a little turtle trying to get up right :<<

  10. MeYowzer says:

    His gyroscope is out of whack! Adorable…. saw this on YouTube the other day :)

  11. Worried Dutch Girl says:

    I think that the pup can’t get up because his head is too big, thanks to the responsible breeders… Therefor I don’t find it funny, but sad.
    I hope that someone can tell me that I’m wrong…

    • Sylmenya says:

      I think he just can’t get up because he’s too young to have become that coordinated. It’s like young human babies who haven’t yet figured out how to roll over.

  12. sidhe says:

    wow. whoever has ownership of that pup should be smacked. it is obvious the poor lil guy cannot roll himself over.

    • HarHar says:

      And so should every parent. They should carry their child everywhere, it is obvious that babies can’t walk. For shame. Who cares if they don’t know how to do it themselves when they are older.

  13. jakjawagon says:

    inb4 “do a barrell roll”

  14. Illyria says:

    Videos like this make me sick. That puppy was clearly having trouble righting himself, and its people just sat there taking videos. For shame. Take this video down.

  15. caylees says:

    He looks like a warbear!

  16. Illini Jen says:

    I have one of these (French Bulldogs) and my Tater is about as young. This pup isn’t retarded or has brain trouble…these guys are just not that great getting off their backs that young.

  17. august21 says:

    This one borders on animal cruelty. I’m pretty sure that’s a bull dog, they have tons of problems, I don’t know I feel like this was more mean than cute or funny, people scare me sometimes. Everything else on this site is cool, this just feels wrong

    • ClickClick says:

      That was the feeling I had, too.
      Would have sat better with me if the little one
      was able to finally flip over.
      Not my favorite.

  18. diegroblers says:

    That is so mean! Help the poor fellow!

  19. squiggs says:

    that poor puppy – he’s trying to get up so hard, but cant and no one will help him :(

    worst. video. ever.

  20. Worried Dutch Girl says:

    Somebody I know has a french bulldog too. He has to hold the head of his dog when he wants to jump on a chair because his head is too heavy for his little body. I think that is not funny, it is very very sad.
    It’s sick that people are breeding this kind of deformed animals.
    Please take this video off, I don’t think it belongs on a site for animal-lovers.

    • Illini Jen says:

      Your friend either bought a poorly bred animal from a puppy mill, or you don’t know anything about the breed. It’s 50/50 right now, because most retards see purebreeds, want one and end up buying from puppy mills that are the scum of the earth. And then, on the other side, folks like you probably know nothing about Frenchies, the breed standard, and how to spot a well-bred Frenchie. My 8 week Frenchie is sleep in his crate right now, but if he were awake, he’d fart one of his killer farts in your general, uninformed direction.

      • ClickClick says:

        Your last line removed any trace of discretion
        and intelligence your post might have contained.

        • HarHar says:

          Ah, but you gotta love Monty Python.

          Anyway, about the puppy. He needs to build up his strength, that’s why they do that. Otherwise they won’t be able to get up on their own, and people like Illini, Squiggs, and August will help him up instead. Then he’ll die early because no one will be around to help him up one day, and you guys with be guilty of shameless animal cruelty. I don’t know how you can sleep at night, hating little puppies to the point of killing them. It’s just not right. Now go away, before I taunt you for a second time.

      • Tiffany says:

        I find it interesting that you just let the “R” word fly, you have absolutely no class.

  21. Squirrely__Kitteh says:

    Randy from a Chrismus Storee: I can’t get up! I CAN”T GET UP!!!!! I can’t get up ralphie!!!!!

  22. Mork says:

    That dog can’t be half as retarded as most of the commenters above.

    It’s a dog, not a human baby. It can roll over, it can get up.

    It’s clearly got an itchy back. GET REAL.

  23. Puppy Liker says:

    I agree with Squiggs, diegroblers and more – Uz a Meenie!!! Makin fun of poor goggie. :( Hope he baits u when heez biggr.

  24. adanacot says:

    Why is everyone so mad?! You’ve never filmed a child as they were tying to crawl or walk? It’s no different! I’m sure the owner helped the pup and continues to help him when he gets stuck on his back. Heaven forbid the owner film the pups attempt. What if the pup had managed to roll himself over for the first time in that video?…Would it be so horrible then?…or would it be like filming a child learning to crawl or walk? It’s not like the video was of the owner putting the pup on its back and then leaving him there for hours on end. Chill out people!

    • slupine says:

      No kidding. Not to mention, if you ALWAYS help the pup roll over, how will he learn/build the muscles to do it on his own? I run on the assumption that the owner probably helped up the pup after a sufficient time to see that the pup wasn’t going to be able to right itself.

      But you do have to let them learn to move on their own. Would they call it cruel to videotape a foal falling down repeatedly when first born, chiding the camera person to help it up? They have to learn on their own how to get those muscles to work.

  25. gcprophet says:

    That’s just mean! Help the puppy get up, instead of taking a video of him struggling.

  26. Concerned Dog Lover says:

    Please remove this video. It’s not funny, it’s cruel.

  27. eve lance says:

    this poor puppy is trying to get up! cute at first then sad, can he right himself??

  28. rachel says:

    i think it might be having a seizure…. not so lol

  29. awensley says:

    Wow… you people seriously need help. The dog’s just rolling around. Even if he is trying to right himself and can’t, what harm is being caused here? I’m sure right after they stopped recording, the owner turned him right side up, and then the puppy went right back to what he was doing because it was fun.

    Go outside and spend time with PEOPLE for a change.

    • wozzle says:

      I guess you didn’t notice that the dog was whining as if it was experiencing discomfort.

      • Lethe says:

        I didn’t hear a sound at all. Puppy looks happy and is learning to control his body. At that age, I can’t see any animal having the flexibility nor the muscle control to be able to immediately right themselves.

        If it was 2 months older than that, and still wiggling around on its back unable to stand, I’d worry. This is obviously a very young puppy learning the ropes.

      • Sylmenya says:

        To me, it sounded like the little grunty noises young puppies make when they’re concentrating on something. I’ve heard similar noises from puppies who were focused on balancing just right to get themselves to walk and not fall over, or who were trying to coordinate their legs to shift to a more comfortable position in their owners’ arms. If this puppy were distressed, he would probably have started yipping or crying loudly.

  30. KuB says:

    Behold !

    teh first TortoizeDoggeh

  31. Ziji says:

    Another vote for removing this video. Shame on the owner.

  32. Ms.Janine says:

    This is SAD… Help that poor confused puppy!

  33. Jane says:

    Not funny. Sad. And no…it’s not the same as filming your baby trying to crawl or walk. How did he end up on his back like that in the first place??

  34. CottlestonPie says:

    Oh please, people. It’s like a baby learning to pull itself up. It can’t learn if you rush in and help every time.

    Take a chill pill already.

  35. Lauren says:

    Please take this down. I hate watching a puppy struggle and humans NOT helping him.

  36. Mimi says:

    I kept hearing his little grunts as he tried to right himself and I was trying through the whole video to help him. I thought at the end a helping hand would come out and put him on his little feet. No, I did not like this video.

  37. Katharine says:

    This is hardly animal cruelty. I’ve been volunteering with homeless animals for years and have been exposed to some sick, truly sick forms of animal cruelty. Ok, yeah it’s sad, the puppy can’t roll over because he is so top heavy. But it’s not like the puppy was left there to struggle for itself for hours. I’m sure the owners helped it up right after the video was taken. Seriously, no harm was done to the puppy. You guys really need to relax. It’s not like this is a baby…this is a dog. I absolutely love dogs and would never ever ever lay a cruel hand on one. I’m not going to let any frantic viewer of this video say it’s cruelty. For God’s sake, chill and don’t take things so seriously.

    • wozzle says:

      It is exactly as if it were a baby. It’s a baby dog.
      The person who took this video clearly let it go on too long. I’m sure they didn’t mean to be unkind– they probably love their dog and thought it looked adorable rolling back and forth– but to let it go as long as they did was definitely unkind. That might be the low end of the cruelty curve, as it were, but it’s still on the curve.

  38. Jenny says:

    The poor thing clearly can’t get over by himself. Put the camera down and help him!

  39. Illini Jen says:

    PEOPLE. The dog is learning on the job how to right itself. Yes, he is struggling, but he is not in pain, not dying, not panicking.

    Jesus folks…if animals, including humans, were not left to learn, your moms would still be wiping your butts for you and changing your adult diapers.

    • awensley says:

      Thank you for adding sanity to this page.

    • Nick R. Bocker says:

      Agreed. But can we also agree that the video is just not funny? And is only cute to the extent that a puppy is cute, because it is a video of a puppy?

    • Lauren says:

      Look at the dog’s eyes at the end of the video. He is clearly distressed. It’s not funny.

      • Illini Jen says:

        Distressed? How do you figure? The eyes barely changed. My 8 week old Frenchie gets a more “distressed” look in his eyes if he can’t reach my face fast enough to get a lick or 100 in. And mine is probably the same age as the cream Frenchie in the video, maybe one week older at most. These are bulldogs…they’re top-heavy and will struggle a little more than other breeds as this age, but they figure out how to get up, get around, and create havoc.

  40. Wendy says:

    Dat’s just how I roll….

  41. Holly says:

    Awww, poor thing, can’t get himself up…it’s like my husband trying to get out of bed.

  42. mandyangela says:

    it may appear cruel to let the dog roll and not help, but 1) how do we know he is struggling? and 2) like any creature, human or otherwise, he has a mouth and would surely use it if he was in distress. Animals do have strange habits – just look at the amount of pictures of cats and dogs on this site where they sleep quite happily in some impossible positions/places. How many of us have pets of our own which do this – I had a cat who slept in the branches of our privet hedge!!!

    • slupine says:

      Heck, I had an adult beagle as a kid that moved like that (and made moany whiny noises) when she intentionally flipped over to roll in the dirt/scratch her back. Apparently to her there was something about wiggling in the dirt that human scritches just can’t replace.

      Probably the dirt part. lol Dogs and their dirt…

      They honestly look like they’re having seizures or something when they do it to, but they frigging love it.

      • Stormy says:

        I had a black pit/sharpei mix who would roll in the dirt for hours. She would make whiny noises and complain a lot, but you’d go tell her to get up and she would. Until you turned around. It’s ridiculous, people on here sometimes. If that dog was outside, it would probably be doing this in the grass and making more noise.

  43. nursie says:

    Well if people struggle to get up and cant over a prolonged period..it causes muscle breakdown and damage to other organs. I vote for someone help the pup up.

  44. A.L. says:

    Cute at first, sad as it went on too long. The dog was distressed – it was crying. What started as a lol turned into a “naw” when the owner didn’t help the dog on film or before it went on for a whole minute.

  45. Mork says:

    Ha ha ha! Idiots.

    THE DOG ROLLS OVER ON ITS SIDE,
    THEN
    COMPLETELY ROLLS OVER TO ITS OTHER SIDE.

    You really think it can’t get up?

    You’re in greater “distress” than this puppy.

    • Cian says:

      I was wondering if anyone else had caught that. . The puppy is cute, the film is cute. It was a WHOLE minute. Oh dear god, stop the presses.. that minute is like a… no, it’s still just a minute. :)

  46. PunHeaven says:

    As it is impossible to judge the exact circumstances, length of time, actions of the owner etc from this video I prefer to think that the owner loves their cute little puppeh. There’s a nice bed, toys all over the floor and a friend for him to play with… There is also a pretty obvious cut in the middle of the video – it’s not one continuous shot. Perhaps the owner helped the puppeh up – we just don’t know.

  47. NomisQC says:

    Don’t get me wrong….I am an absolute animal lover….but I gotta agree with some comments made earlier…

    The pup is in no distress…it would yap, bark, cry louder if it was the case.
    I think it’s either scratching its back or maybe trying to get up but it’s part of learning to try and fail at that age…I’m sure the owner did or would come to the help of the dog if it was stuck in that position for a long period of time….which is not the case in the short duration of the video…

  48. mandyangela says:

    Animals are strange, they do weird things – ICHC and IHAH wouldn’t exist without this!!! How many pictures on this site show animals playing with weird things (cat playing with a melon twice its size), sleeping in weird places (our clothes, plantpots, cardboard boxes) and other general weirdness (chihuahua mixing it with an alsatian and the broccoli-eating cat). This dog is not in distress, he just hasn’t learned to get enough momentum in his roll. Human babies fall on their butts countless times when learning to walk – we laugh at that and even more when they cry!! – the parents just keep on picking the child up and make it start again until it learns. You make mistakes, you learn to do it right, that’s a fact of life.

  49. Susannah says:

    Help that puppy get up or I’m sending the big dogs!

  50. Susannah says:

    Seriously, people. Do you know what happens when you “help” a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis? It is permanently and irreversibly crippled. If the pup were alone with its Mama, do you think she’d help him up? If you do, you’re projecting. Puppies learn from doing. Let him do.

    • cookies says:

      Am I the only one who saw the full-grown dog in the background of the second shot (assuming it was mom)? She half-cocked open an eye then went back to sleep. Puppies are not shy about showing distress – he would be yipping and yowling loud enough to hear out on the sidewalk if he were upset and she would investigate and help.

      My infant nephew is just at this point where he’s learning to roll over. And yes, we laugh and think it’s adorable. If you don’t think it’s funny, don’t watch – there have been many loldogs I didn’t get or think were funny, I just move on. This is far from cruelty.

  51. LO says:

    awww poor babi!!!

  52. Guinnevere says:

    Those of you who think it’s a funny video may be right: maybe the puppy is just trying to scratch its back, and maybe it only went on for a minute (how long did the pup struggle initially, while the owner went to get the camera?), but I disliked it intensely. It made me feel uncomfortable, like I was watching big kids bullying little kids, and no one was doing anything to stop it.

    By the way, the length of the video is subjective. How long is a minute when you’re in discomfort, scared, or frustrated?

    Answer: Too long.

  53. sandykins says:

    awwww that lil frenchie i know its part of growing up to get him to right himself but i did not find it funny watchin him struggle

  54. Patrice says:

    Help turn the little guy over, gheez…poor thing! :(

  55. noyb says:

    I am a bulldog breeder (15 + years)
    This is normal, every day occurrence. English and French bulldogs are clumsy. They also cannot walk on hardwood floors without constantly falling. But guess what: instead of carrying them, I let them learn and eventually they do just fine.

  56. Hiilumaru says:

    This puppy may be trying to get up, or it may be flopping around like cats do in the sun. For all we know, this puppy likes wiggling around on the floor. He could be suffering, but do you REALLY think that someone who buys beds and toys for their pets would let a cute, helpless, cuddly puppy suffer? If I took pleasure in seeing baby animals in distress or pain (which I absolutely DO NOT, Btw), I wouldn’t get an animal all those toys and that big plushy bed. That puppy is either having a blast rolling all over the place like that, or just learning how to walk. HAVE SOME SENSE, people.

  57. chin4me says:

    Everyone is ignoring the obvious…
    WHERE ARE IT’S PARENTS?!?
    why should society help in the upbringing of this child?
    All joking aside, if it were in distress, the mother would have
    grabbed it and helped it back to its bed.

  58. Tieg says:

    Darn you gravity!!!!

  59. L.E.G says:

    poor poor thing! i wish i could help him and his sick owener

  60. E-beth says:

    ditto patrice IF THE OWENERS ARE READING THIS THE DOG WAS CUTE BUT Y DINT U HELP HIM!!!!!!!!!!

    • awensley says:

      1. Turn off your caps lock.
      2. With all the letters you capitalized, you still missed the first word of the first sentence.
      3. Punctuation is your friend. It helps divide one sentence from another.
      4. It’s “owners;” not “OWENERS.”
      5. It’s “didn’t;” not “DINT.”
      6. One exclamation point will do. Honestly.

      Beyond that, it’s hard to tell if you actually made a point other than that our public school system needs more focus grammar, desperately.

  61. a hersh says:

    this is not cute – he is stuck upside down and it’s just cruel that his owners won’t turn him over – it makes me very sad.

  62. artpixie says:

    awww… poor cute-thing
    he’s like a tourtle :(

  63. Rigorin says:

    After reading every comment on this page and watching the video a few times, I’d have to say I’m mostly on the “this puppy is not in distress” side of the argument. So I’m just going to write a pointlessly long comment that looks like an essay even though almost nobody is going to watch it and go on with their stubborn opinions. To those who DO read, thank you for your consideration.

    I do think that perhaps this puppy is just scratching its back. It’s not like no puppy ever does so. People pet their dogs all the time. What’s happening here could be the floor doing the same thing.

    Maybe this puppy fell over, and it trying to get up. I’m not surprised. If the owner bought it toys and plushy beds and has a big ol’ mama dog to play with it, would the owner really let it suffer in such a way? Surely the pup would be more vocal, yet not once did it open its mouth. I’m sure it’s just a bit top heavy, or needs to learn to walk. I wouldn’t want the puppy crippled for its whole life because it was struggling to get up now and then when it was young.

    The only place of doubt I have here is that I did hear something from the pup. If only a tiny bit, it was being vocal. It was making moans and whimpers and disgruntled snorts now and then. But I struggle to get up in the morning and I make the same noises. In fact, perhaps that’s exactly what this is. A tired puppy.

    So that leads me to the conclusion of my pointlessly long essay-like comment. It’s a puppy. It will have trouble. It was trying to get up, or it was scratching its back. Pick one, but however you look at it, the chances of this being any actual cruelty is small.

    -Robert M. Duncan

    • MissAliice says:

      Good on you!
      My dog does that to scratch his back, accompanied by whimpery, moany sounds, all the time. Then he gets up with his big silly grin, and it’s all good.
      Anyway, the puppy’s fine.

  64. Kim says:

    I’m always amazed by the number of bleeding hearts on the internet. And then I remember that it IS the internet and the population thereof is roughly 45% assholes, 45% bleeding hearts and 10% normal, average people.

    I thought this vid was absolutely ADORABLE, and while it goes a bit longer than I found interesting, it’s not cruel at all.

  65. CS says:

    If you look at the original video, the comment in Japanese says the the dog got up right after the video stopped.

    Does that help any?

  66. Amanda says:

    I THINK THIS IS HORRIBLE. sOMEONE SHOULD HELP THAT PUPPY INSTEAD OF LAUGHING AT IT BECAUSE IT CANT GET ON ITS FEET.

  67. Crystal says:

    Poor lil guy! help him up!

  68. McHale says:

    this is only like the cutest thing ever!

  69. Meeker says:

    If the puppy needed help it would whine for help. If it’s whines were ignored it would cry and scream. It the crying and screaming was ignored, the pup would lay still and cry.
    This pup is determined to get up on it’s own.

  70. BB says:

    I think a lot of you who disagree with this video can’t ever have owned a puppy before. Perhaps if you had, you would know that (like children) they have to learn everything for themselves and you can’t help them with everything otherwise they’d never learn.
    Also, has no-one noticed that the puppy’s mum is obviously in the background of the video? If the puppy was really distressed, she would help it.

  71. camilli says:

    This is not funny. He is not enjoying it.
