His Weak Cry for Help Was Just a Dog Ambush Mid-Handstand

A trembling call for help turned out to be a dog going full assault on its owner's face during handstand training.

His Weak Cry for Help Was Just a Dog Ambush Mid-Handstand

What's going on

A wife heard her husband calling out in a shaky, weak voice, begging for help. Naturally, she assumed something had gone wrong and rushed over to see what was happening.

What she found instead was her husband mid-handstand, doing a bit of strength training, while their dog took full advantage of the situation and went after his face with everything it had. Upside down and unable to move without risking a fall — or worse, stepping on the dog — all he could do was call out helplessly while getting thoroughly licked.

The dog, for its part, looked like it was having the time of its life.

Comments

My husband was screaming “help meee” in this shaky, feeble voice, so I thought something serious happened — turned out he was doing a handstand for his workout and the dog was going full assault on his face.
夫が震えるようなひ弱な声で「助けてぇ」って叫んでて何事かと思ったら筋トレで逆立ちしてるその顔面を容赦なく犬に襲われてるところだった
The culprit dog.
犯犬
Here’s a cute shot of the culprit too… 🐶
犯犬の可愛い姿も置いときます…🐶
I bet there’s an unpublished photo somewhere that looks exactly like this.
このまんまの非公開写真がありそう
Couldn’t get a photo, but trust me, it was impossible not to laugh lol. The dog was genuinely thrilled, just licking away…
写真は撮れませんでしたけど、爆笑必至でした笑 犬は本当嬉しそうに舐めてたので…
Guess it was fun for the dog since the face was right there wwww
顔近いから楽しかったんやろなwwww
Pupper was probably just happy the owner’s face was so close ☺️
イッヌ、飼い主さんの顔が近くて嬉しかったんかな☺️
The dog clearly thinks it’s an all-you-can-lick buffet 😂
舐め放題コーナーと思ってるイッヌ😂
Doggo: “Owner!! Your face is SO close!! 🥰 Alright, lick time!! 👅💦”
イヌヌ「飼主‼︎‼︎めっちゃ顔近いやんんんんん🥰よっしゃ舐めたろ👅💦」
Once a family member’s mouth enters range, the dog goes into infinite lick mode.
イッヌ、家族のお口が射程範囲に入ると無限ペロペロしてくる
Yeah, even when you’re asleep they’ll go full lick-lick-lick-lick on your face.
寝てても顔面ベロベロベロベロされるよね
This is genuinely adorable WWW
これほまに可愛いWWW
Nope, too cute wwww Just imagining it is already too cute www
だめだ、可愛すぎるwwww\n想像しただけで可愛すぎるwww
Funny that he’s in nothing but his underwear (“pan-ichi,” Japanese slang for being down to just your underwear), and how tiny the illustration is makes it even better.
パンイチなのもイラストがちっさいのもおもろい
The dog’s expression is great, you really need to zoom in on it.
イッヌの表情がとてもよいので、拡大必須です。
The empty space in the illustration really emphasizes how tragic the husband looks lol
この絵の余白がさらに夫さんの悲壮感を強調させているw
This is rough wwwww
これは大変wwwww
Oh no…😂 he can’t even put his legs down www What an absurdly happy scene www
これは…😂足おろせないもんねwww\nあまりにも幸せな光景www
The whole picture is just surreal lol He can’t come down from the handstand since he might step on the dog… and he can’t yell or make noise either… rough situation ww
絵面がシュールw\n踏んでしまう事を考えると逆立ち解除も出来ないし....大きい声や音は出せないし....大変だww
Funny Seems like it’d get hard to breathe too And for the dog, having the owner’s face right there must’ve been pure joy.
おもろい\n呼吸しにくくて苦しくなってそう\n犬は犬で、かいぬしの顔が近いから嬉しかっただろうな。
Doggoooo! Come on, give him a break wwww!!!
わんこー!\nやめたげてよーwwww!!!

I get this.

Back when I lived with my parents, doing handstand training made the dog charge right at me — genuinely a little scary 🤭😂

これわかる。\n\n昔実家で逆立ち筋トレしたらわんこが迫ってきてなかなかの恐怖🤭😂

You see dogs 🐶 sabotaging push-ups with deep affectionate licking 👅 all the time on X, but this…

Man, I’m jealous 🐶✨

ワンチャン🐶の深い愛情表現👅による腕立て伏せ妨害はよくXで見かけるけれど、これは…\n\nいいなあ、羨ましいなあ🐶✨
This is exactly what happens to me when I use my ab roller… Afterward he throws his toy at me too Guess it’s the same all across the country.
これ私が腹筋ローラーやってる時にやられるやつだ…\nその後おもちゃぶつけられたりする\nやっぱり全国同じなんだね
For some reason whenever I do strength training or yoga, he comes right up and licks me. Is it the sweat? ( ̄▽ ̄;)
筋トレとかヨガとかしてると何故かくっついてくるし、舐めてくる。汗か?( ̄▽ ̄;)

My take

Getting a workout in while making the dog deliriously happy — maybe that's a two-for-one deal.
