Ticklish squeak toy

I'm not even sure if this puppeh is for reals.

When in doubt, assume Japanese scientists did it.

Where's the teeck-le, Antonella S.?

Hehehehe apparently it does tickle.: Annie; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:32 AM

*sigh* I guess robots can't be first. Adorable video.: yankeebird; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:32 AM

Poor little blighter, an animated cotton ball.: Hon Glad; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:36 AM

i am at a lose. that looks like its a lil too hi-bred. what kind of dog is it supposed to be anyway?: liz; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:39 AM

Oh. I feel sad for the little critter. I'm not sure that's a happy sound... More like, "Please stop!" Sorry to be a downer, but that's the way I see it.: nicejoest; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:39 AM

If only he could talk: Lady: Where's the teekle, where's the teekle, ahhh where's the teekle? Squeaky Dog: I got your tickle right here lady.: luvinmalssomuch; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:39 AM

OH, My Gosh!!! I want one of those! What kind of dog is that??? It is adorable!: Breath; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:40 AM

I've got my $10 on it being a pomeranian. And not a happy one. It's widdle legs are being bent backwards. Don't wanna be a nuffer, but I'm going to have to vote sad, not cute.: Mary; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:42 AM

luvins......LMAO!!! What a silly leetle teeckley pup!: bugmom; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:43 AM

Not nice.: Lady Chroe; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:45 AM

OMG THAT WAS SO GREAT LOL!!! damn, then I read the comments and I feel sad, but my chihuahua makes noises like that when he's playing. His paw got stepped on and that noise was VERY different. *tear* poor baby...I go pet him now. ....tickletickle!: Mello; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:47 AM

That's so sad :[ I love small things but I feel bad for the poor doggy: ny; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:48 AM

That is absolutely NOT a happy sound. Nor are those bared teeth a 'smile'. Nor is the 'get me outta here' head turning the little critter being coy. Gracious people...our pets are not TOYS.: withaven; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:48 AM

I do not want this dog, I NEED THIS DOG. GIVE ME IT NOW. *waits impatiently*: maymee; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:49 AM

That is disturbing. That poor dog is not enjoying being "tickled". It's clearly in distress. Ugh..I don't like what I see.: That's not cute...; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:53 AM

i'm glad that i'm not the only one that sees this as not so cute, i think its making that noise because shes bending it over backwards and stretching its lil arms backwards and squeezing it at the same time. I'm pulling out my "Puppy-Protection Patrol" badge and confiscating that puppeh right now. hand it ova.: liz; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:54 AM

Nooooot my cup of tea. I like a lot of poms but this one's way too... dare I say unnatural? But then I like my dogs to look at least a little like they had a wolf ancestor.: cosmiquemuffin; | Nov 09, 2007 at 08:58 AM

Wow, there are a lot of people here today making assumptions that they know better than the dog's *owner* what's best for it. Along with some of the comments under the coon "dog" post, I'm really starting to get pissed off. You act like we're personally strangling baby ducks for fun and profit. (Just a few of you, I mean.) I'm >>>THIS<<< far away from shutting down the comments here, because you know, I'd be perfectly happy to let the posts stand on their own for the rest of the day. I *will* be deleting comments that I deem to be disruptive or trollish, starting right now. I think we all get enough griefing from the real-world news. It's not needed here.: Theo; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:04 AM

What the hell is that!!!!: Tricia Garrett; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:09 AM

you know I don't think it is a pom tho it may be but more like a maltese or shitzu perhaps.: Annie; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:09 AM

This is a non-specific-to-this-post comment, but just wanted to hear my pennies plink in the jar... So CO seems to be having more and more videos, and while they certainly are cute, they are not Instant Gratification Cute. I like being overwhelmed with cute the moment I load the page! The videos are delaying my cute consumption! Anyways, just make sure you keep bringing on the instant photo-cutes. Also Meg, you are the most brilliant cuteologist in the world. Love the site!: Lisa C.; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:10 AM

Thanks again Theo. Went from the coon dog post thinking it was cute until reading the comments and became very ill.: luvinmalssomuch; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:16 AM

I don't have tv but discovered a cache of "Dog Whisperer" DVDs at the corner video store last week...I've been on a binge ever since. It seems to be seeping into my daily world. So, I can't help but wonder what the Dog Whisperer would say about this? Is the dog going to jump up and start showing dominance by putting his iddle biddle teensy weensy pawsies on the owner's shoulders? Is the dog being cooperative and showing submission by allowing the owner to put him on his back like that? Will the dog get really spoiled and start throwing temper tantrums by kicking his legs, like the Pomeranian I saw last night? Does this dog think the tickling lady is his pack leader? I swear, I'll never be able to look at dogs the same again. Then again, I'm not even convinced this IS a real dog!: Mitsu; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:22 AM

That's effing frightening!: add-mmm; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:26 AM

Theo, not to be mean or troll-ish but You also have to assume that some people don't have that common sense. Some sick people do horrible things to their dogs. I \*really*/ hope it isn't the case here. I think it is cute if they are actually tickling the cute little fluffyball, but in some ways, it is scary how it sounds. People usually hear some sort of yelping or whimpering and think the puppy/dog is say, "NO, STOP! PAIN!" I really do hope the trolling stops though.: GreyCat; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:26 AM

Agreed that the pup doesn't look like it is having a very good time....the lady bends the dog's front egs back, it squeaks, she releases its legs and it stops squeaking. I'm thinking it's a squeak of protest - and/or pain.: Dweema; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:27 AM

Will a vet weigh in? That definitely does not look like the dog is enjoying that. Agree with withaven, the sound, the teeth bearing, and the head turning avoidance seem to be saying this ain't cool. Theo, your overreaction to people expressing concern about the dog's comfort is hyperbolic and bizarre (assuming you're reacting to those comments).: jackson; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:30 AM

If you can imagine it, Japan has already created it, and it runs on AAs. I'm with Meg on this one -- this is secret technology they're springing on us to catch us off-guard while their army of Naruto clones takes over the world.: Kara; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:33 AM

uhh, I'd say he doesn't like that?: Heather; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:34 AM

Bizarre. Then again, I'm not generally fond of dogs so small that you wouldn't notice sitting on them :) (Puppies, yes, but I like my dogs big enough to use as a pillow): Elizabeth B; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:34 AM

looks like one of the monsters from the movie Critters: m; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:35 AM

that little thing looks like it wants to put its itsy bitsy teeth into the weird annoying person's a**: Kiragirl; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:38 AM

Don't worreh, puppy's fine. :) notice the lack of biting when the thumb is right in front of the muzzle. That being said, cute puppeh. I used to have a bird who would laugh too. :P: Kuu; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:40 AM

I think it's a Pom too and I also think she's hurting it. My pup did that when her shoulder came out of its socket when she took a spill and I rushed her to the vet!: me-me-me; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:47 AM

hmmm... although i usually think people overreact in the comments here, i have to agree that the dog's reaction is a little unnerving. my dog only makes sounds like that when he pulls a muscle somehow. so, the way she's pushing his legs back worries me a little. then again, i was under the impression that puppies and other baby animals are more flexible than older ones, so maybe it is just a wierd puppy afterall and it's not in pain. still, i think everyone's concern is totally apt here.: jenny; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:49 AM

I'm really sorry, I don't want to be accused of being a troll or anything, because I love this site and it always brings a smile to my face when I feel down, but that dog does not look or sound happy at all.: Maz; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:50 AM

It's a white gremlin and she's trying to kill it. No harm there.: Mello; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:56 AM

I'm sorry but I don't think the dog ticklish. I have never heard a dog squeak with laughter...only bark with happiness. I think the person is torturing the little dog by bending the little dog's front legs back and actually hurting the dog. The dog is squeaking because he is in pain...what's wrong with you people!!!!!!: kiran; | Nov 09, 2007 at 09:57 AM

must admit... this one disturbed me..... and I'm not easily disturbed.: Hazel; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:05 AM

ugh,I can't believe I'm doing this because normally I jump all over the nuffs...but that puppy is definitely in pain. It does NOT look amused. I had the pleasure of playing with a happy puppy yesterday and i picked it up and cuddled it and it licked my face and made no attempt to get away. That puppy wants to get AWAY.: ally; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:08 AM

if you go to the YouTube link, the video poster put this comment: "Our new baby appears to be ticklish... a gentle rub on the back of his neck drives him crazy! He cracks us up!!!" i rewatched the clip and i think she is actually reaching behind to the back of the pup's neck with her fingers to tickle him. serious watch it again. when i do, it's not so much that she's pushing his front legs back, just reaching back to tickle his neck with her fingers (sans thumbs). i think pup is OK. maybe a pom(?) owner/breeder can ring in on the 'unique' noises he's making.: NYgirly; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:11 AM

Definately a dog in pain, she did it three times, each time she manipulated the dog into an uncomfortable position to make him yelp. Not cute, very cruel. Meg, Theo, I would take it down, sorry. I'm not usually a nuff but dudes, thats a dog hurtin'.... :(: da; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:12 AM

Ok, I just watched the video again after reading the comments, and I don't see anything wrong... no armes being wrenched out of their sockets, no angry/frantic dog between tickles (No escape, no wriggling, just a happy dog sitting there)... People really need to stop assuming the worst and they saying 'I wish I could not assume the worst'. You can, it is really easy.. repeat after me "I will not assume the worst".. I think this vid is *very* cute, and this is from a non-dog type person.. he is gigggling! Aww!! :) :) :): bcteagirl; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:12 AM

I don't see the point of complaining in the comments, even if you genuinely (think you) see something cruel. Hoping someone with a time machine will read your comment and pop back and keep it from happening? *sigh*: Kara; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:13 AM

p.s. the owner said this: "He's a Pomeranian.... he's absolutely BURSTING with personality! I think he's the cutest puppy I've ever seen! :-)": NYgirly; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:14 AM

regardless of what she's DOING to the poor dog physically, that woman should be ashamed of how she TALKS to the dog. it's cloying, trite, and vile. and a little sad coming from an adult.: i'd be terrified too; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:19 AM

Sounds more like a monkeh.: strega; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:28 AM

don't talk cute to your dog??? dogs love everything squeak. When I try to have an intellectual conversation with my dog he looks away with disgust. I squeak and he gets happy. I tickle and he writhes in pain...wait, no.: Mello; | Nov 09, 2007 at 10:29 AM
