But Rolo, a 7-year-old dachshund, has a very different take on the whole situation. And it’s hard not to smile when you see how happy this little guy is!
Overjoyed Dog Sprained His Tail
Emma Smith is Rolo’s owner. And she turned to Twitter to share the unusual impact COVID-19 has had on the adorable wiener dog.
Rolo is happiest when he’s with his family. So, when his family started staying home all day, his joy over getting so much time with the humans he loves caused his tail to wag non-stop. In fact, it wagged so much, the dog actually sprained his tail!
"So my dog has been so happy that everyone is home for quarantine, that his tail has stopped working,” Emma wrote. She continued, “So we went to the vet and the vet said ‘he had sprained his tail from excessively wagging it'."
