Bath time can be a little scary when you’re just a tiny puppy, especially when you have four little paws and absolutely no idea why your human is putting you in water!
Meet Mia Rue, an adorable Dachshund puppy whose reaction to bath time has dog lovers everywhere falling head over heels.
In a precious TikTok video shared by @princessmiarue, the little sausage dog experiences what appears to be a very confusing adventure in the bathtub. And judging by her expressions, she’s not entirely convinced this whole bathing business is necessary.
At first, Mia Rue cautiously dips her tiny paws into the water, immediately trying to shake them dry. Unfortunately, that’s a little difficult when you’re standing in the very thing you’re trying to escape!
With her big puppy eyes and sweet little face, she looks up at her mom as if to say, “Excuse me, but there’s been a terrible mistake!”
The tiny pup even makes a few adorable attempts to escape, but when she realizes bath time isn’t ending just yet, she decides to be a very brave girl.
Slowly but surely, Mia Rue begins to relax. Before long, she’s calmly padding through the water, almost looking like she might actually be enjoying herself.
But the sweetest moment comes after her bath.
Once her mom lifts her out of the tub and wraps her up to dry, Mia Rue immediately snuggles close, clearly deciding that cuddles are a much better activity than getting wet.
“Bath time is definitely not her favorite activity yet,” her mom joked in the caption.

Viewers couldn’t handle the cuteness!
“She’s so perfect 🥹,” one person gushed.
“The post-bath cuddle is clearly the best part,” another viewer commented.
Someone else simply wrote, “She’s so cute.”
And really, who could disagree?
Between those tiny paws, floppy ears and irresistible puppy eyes, Mia Rue could probably get away with just about anything.
She might not be the biggest fan of baths just yet, but one thing is certain: This precious little Dachshund deserves all the warm towels, cozy blankets and extra cuddles her heart desires.
What a brave little sausage!
