The adorable little furball recently had his first-ever bath. And he didn't enjoy the experience!
His dog mum shared footage of the soapy encounter in a TikTok post. Titled 'First Bath Time,' the 8-second clip shows the soaked pup clinging to his human's arm for dear life.
"Get me out of here, now!"
And although the water is shallow and safe, the expression on his adorable little face says, "Please, someone get me out of here now!" Or maybe he's thinking, "How much longer is this going to last?"
The clip racked up over 2million views, 500K likes, and thousands of messages of support from dog lovers!
"I hope the poor baby got a big treat and some time with his favourite toy after this. It's what he deserves," wrote one viewer.
Baths can be a traumatic experience for puppies. However, most dogs get used to them after a bit of training. Tips include giving the dog something else to focus on, like a toy or lots of strokes.

It gets easier
You can also tempt them into the bath with treats. Some owners use stick-on slow feeders. They attach to the bathroom wall and have a lickable front surface you can cover with peanut butter or doggy chocolate.
Pet experts recommend bathing a puppy once a month. But that's probably still too much for this poor little furball. Stay strong, little dude, bath time gets easier as you get older. We promise!
