Grooming day in a Brisbane backyard usually involves a bit of sun, but for Winnie, it’s apparently the end of the world. Not so much for Murphy. These two spoiled French Bulldogs from @winnie.murphy.frenchies are the stars of a video that’s already racked up over a million likes for all the hilarious, dramatic reasons you’d expect. While most dogs might just hide under the sofa to avoid nail-cutting, Winnie finds himself suspended from a specialized grooming sling in the video. Before his dad even gets a chance to start the nail-cutting process, Winnie begins a vocal protest that sounds suspiciously like a very angry cat.
Dog’s nails are not easy to cut and you will see why
The drama level is truly off the charts. Dad is just trying to hold a hind paw, but Winnie is busy questioning every life choice that led to this moment. His mom, who is behind the camera, points out that the trimmers hadn’t even touched him yet when the screaming started. One viewer joked that they’d be the neighbor yelling over the gate, asking what on earth was happening to the “baby.”
We know that this breed is famous for being incredibly vocal, and Winnie is simply leaning into that reputation. He looks at the ground with a face of pure betrayal, wondering why his mom finds the whole situation so funny. But everything changes when it’s Murphy’s turn in the sling.
Murphy hangs there as casually as though he’s waiting for a bus. He is unfazed by the clippers actually touching his paws. While Winnie was looking to the heavens for “vengeance,” Murphy stays composed and even scores a treat for his bravery. A veterinarian in the comments noted how typical this is, saying there is always one “dramatic, noisy one” and one stoic sibling in every pair. Murphy’s zen-like patience is the perfect foil to Winnie’s over-the-top character.
The contrast between the two is exactly why the clip went so viral in a single day. You can see Winnie’s soul leaving his body as he lets out another long, gurgling complaint, while Murphy just stares at the lens like a pro. Hopefully, the neighbors have realized by now that it’s just a very loud Frenchie having a moment.
