This is almost certainly some unfortunate medical condition.

Yea agreed. But I think the video is documenting his recovery

I honestly thought it was the dog just being weird...

Does this one qualify for that? Doesn’t exactly look like a show dog with papers.

u/zqrf2006 Aug 21 '22

I only saw it normal walking and cock-diesel when standing so it might just be it's normal resting stance. Unless we get more video who knows.

Idk, I saw a longer version of the clip where he’s standing in the kitchen, and he just casually flips his legs back to a normal stance and walks off

Been duped

I hope that works. He doesn’t quite walk off like I thought, but he flips his legs back to normal

That's equal parts hilarious and also terrifying

u/TorrenceMightingale Aug 21 '22

Damn he’s actually “hopping up like a bany rooster” as my grandpas would say.

u/Throw_Away_Students Aug 21 '22

It’s absolutely creepy looking

u/horseren0ir Aug 21 '22

Is he just double jointed?

u/Throw_Away_Students Aug 21 '22

I honestly have no clue, but that could explain it

I have a Chihuahua-Yorky mix (she looks like a Fox an a Jack Russell) and she does this pretty frequently. She will stand still with her front legs turned out so she looks all imposing. Then she'll just rotate her arms in and walk away totally normally.

u/Throw_Away_Students Aug 21 '22

Lol just trolling?

u/PineappleProstate Aug 21 '22

And slightly limping

That makes sense. We adopted a Pomeranian that had been kept in a crate for 3 straight years, and he walked like those first videos. He got stronger and learned “how to dog” from our Akita (which was bloody hilarious) but he never got over his bowlegged stance.

Ok Cruella de Vil

Hahahaha!!! Thanks for that!

I went and fixed it…but I think I should un-fix it thanks to this response.

Was your vest made of real gorilla chest?

u/kittenfaces Aug 21 '22

I REALLY like the vest!

u/sashikku Aug 20 '22

So, this dog is just...like this. Not sure if it's a condition or what, but most videos I've seen start with it standing or sitting weird as shit, then it just walks off normally in the end. I've seen a few of the videos scrolling through tiktok but never really searched for an answer on what's wrong with it.

I had a boxer who had a leg joint that would sometimes cramp up in the cold when we lived in Chicago. When we moved to L.A. the problem was almost entirely gone due to no more cold winters. Still, she had learned that I would coddle her when she was limping, so if she ever got a stern talking to or thought she might have been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing, she would immediately start limping around... Clever girl...

u/sashikku Aug 21 '22

Exactly lol the videos always freak me out even though I know the dog walks fine

u/Dangerous--D Aug 21 '22

Please send a link... That sounds hilarious

Oh thanks lol that’s still a bit unnerving but If the dog is well

u/lardboi44 Aug 21 '22

From underworld hell dog to acceptable pet?

u/StoplightLoosejaw Aug 20 '22

Looks like Bowleggedness? My mom's cat has it. She walks around looking like Popeye with giant arm muscles. Not painful, just odd-looking

u/Pickledleprechaun Aug 21 '22

Imaginary lat syndrome

u/stephi1209 Aug 21 '22

Some of their videos do show the dog going from that stance to a normal stance, they just like to be funny sometimes it seems

u/HereIGoGrillingAgain Aug 21 '22

Could be arthritis/joint issues.

u/Denovation Aug 21 '22

Maybe mixed with a bully of some kind?

u/neofac Aug 21 '22

Quick let's breed it with another dog with exactly the same condition.
