In most households with pets, the pecking order is clear: humans pay the bills, but dogs run the place. They decide when walks happen, claim the best spots, and determine which noises are acceptable. In an Instagram video, a Bulldog showed that even a high-tech gadget like a robot vacuum cleaner must respect these rules or face swift, paw-powered justice.
Bulldog turns off the vacuum cleaner after it disturbs his sleep in video
Bob and Flodie are two Bulldogs who share a home, and judging by a viral Instagram video, they also share full authority over it. The short clip begins with the hum of a robo vacuum cleaner gliding across the floor, doing its usual rounds. That is, until one of the pups, apparently fresh from being woken up, ambles toward it with clear intent.
The dog places both paws firmly on the machine, as if to say, “That’s enough of that,” and in the process manages to shut it off completely. The in-video text drives home the situation: “When the vacuum cleaner wakes your dog up and he decides to turn it off.”
Playing over the scene is Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.,” giving the moment an unmistakable air of cool confidence. As the victorious Bulldog turns and walks away, the other dog, Flodie, approaches. The two share a quick, almost human-like exchange — a small nudge of the head that viewers have interpreted as the “dog equivalent of a high five.”
Viewers were quick to add their own hilarious takes in the comments section. One user wrote, “He said ‘not today, Satan!’” Another joked about Flodie’s gesture, saying, “The other dog walks up and taps his head, like, thanks man, I was trying to nap too.”
Some shared personal stories of their own pets versus vacuum cleaners, with one writing, “My pugs peed on it… Roomba did not survive the attack.” And, in true internet fashion, one commenter asked, “Where are the drop-down glasses?,” envisioning Bob’s swagger complete with a meme-worthy accessory.
