If you’ve ever dragged yourself out of bed only to do everything short of leaving the house—because the bed was just too cozy—you might relate to Georgie, a little dachshund from Los Angeles who’s gone viral for his epic reluctance to walk.
Georgie’s owner, Mikaela Wild (@mik.wild on TikTok), shared a video that’s pulled at hearts and made countless people nod with recognition.
In it, she kneels beside the bed, sweetly coaxing Georgie the dachshund to come out. He’s under the covers. He’s tucked away.
His expression says: “Walk? Are you serious?”
Eventually she convinces him to let her clip on his harness. But even then, Georgie’s enthusiasm doesn’t exactly erupt. His ears droop.
His eyes say he’d much rather stay with his pillows. The outside vs. bed battle is real—and for Georgie, the bed is winning.
It’s become a part of Wild’s daily routine—this tug-of-war between “Go outside!” and “Remind me why I left the bed?”
She jokes that for Georgie, walking feels like punishment rather than pleasure—especially the start of the walk. Ironically, Georgie perks up only once they’re heading back home.
There’s no resistance returning home. No hesitation. No begging for fifths. Just full-on joy.
People online are loving every moment. The clip has racked up over 523,000 views as of late August 2025.
Viewers are smiling, laughing, relating. Comments like “Mine does the same—reluctant start, running return,” and “He knows what’s comfy and no one is convincing him otherwise,” show that Georgie isn’t alone.
He’s a voice for all cozy pups who believe there’s a better place than the leash—and that place is often between the sheets.
You can see why Georgie strikes a chord: dachshunds are famous for their independent streak. Stubbornness is practically in their job description.
Experts say that young dogs of this breed don’t need long walks—too much activity early on can stress developing joints. Short, frequent walks and playtime usually work better.
Turns out Georgie might just be following good advice—he’s smart enough to know what feels best for him.
Even so, Wild doesn’t give up. The harness gets clipped. The gentle coaxing happens. The hand-on-leg encouragement.
Because she knows that some days Georgie will be up for it. That trust builds.
That routine becomes less of a fight and more of something they do together—even if it starts with pleading and ends with cuddling back home.
Georgie’s story isn’t just funny—it’s kind of beautiful. It’s about patience, understanding, and respecting what your dog really wants (or doesn’t want).
Some dogs chase the morning. Georgie waits for the evening—or rather, the moment someone says “home.”
He’s a reminder that not every dog is ready at sunrise, and that’s okay.
So if your dog ever silently tells you “Can’t we stay just a little longer?” listen.
Because those voices under the covers are full of personality, comfort, and comforters who love you anyway.
Georgie isn’t just refusing walks—he’s choosing his battles.
And sometimes staying cozy wins the war.
