Grooming might be part of the dog-care routine, but try telling that to a pup with a flair for the dramatic. While most dogs will sit through a brushing session with mild annoyance, others channel full-on theatrical despair, as evident by one video of the “most defeated” Corgi on the internet. With his slumped posture and mournful stare, this pooch looks less like he’s getting a grooming session and more like he’s contemplating the meaning of life.
Corgi is ‘truly moping’ during grooming session in hilarious video
An Instagram video shared by user @beebothecorgi shows a Corgi named Beebo in the middle of a grooming session, and his expression says it all. The text overlay on the clip reads, “The world’s most defeated Corgi,” and it’s hard to argue with that. Sitting still, head down, eyes full of exaggerated sorrow, the dog appears to have completely given up and resigned himself to his fate.
His owner captioned the clip, “My guy was truly moping,” and honestly, there’s no better word for it. This wasn’t just a mildly annoyed dog — this was a pup channeling pure emotional exhaustion, as if he had just accepted that the brush would be his destiny forever. His whole body language screamed, “I didn’t sign up for this,” and it’s that perfectly captured mood that has made the video such a hit online, with nearly 6K likes within a few days.
One commenter joked, “He’s plotting your downfall in silence,” while another wrote, “This is Oscar-worthy sulking.” Others chimed in with similar stories of their own dogs pulling the same defeated look at the groomer’s. Several viewers pointed out how expressive Corgis can be and how their short, stocky build just adds to the comedy.
With their thick double coats, Corgis need regular brushing to control shedding and keep their fur clean. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and the occasional bath are all part of keeping them healthy and comfortable. Still, no amount of explaining would likely change this particular Corgi’s opinion — judging by the video, he clearly thinks it’s the worst day of his life.
