Spoiled Dachshund Loves Getting Nonstop Kisses And It's Beyond Precious

Paying lip service to your dog doesn't always have to mean exaggerating how long of a walk they'll get to go on or how many treats they'll get. Sometimes, it means pampering your pup with an endless supply of kisses. For instance, look at how adorable a dachshund named Pedro is while blissfully receiving smooches like the boss of his own kissing booth in a September 2026 Instagram video. Now, that's lip service.

As the sweet sausage rubs his wrinkly little face against his dad's beard, Pedro doesn't even need to open his eyes to know there's nowhere he'd rather be. "Find someone who enjoys your kisses like I enjoy kisses from papa," the Instagram post reads. And yes, that someone can absolutely be a fur baby.

From pampering your pup at a spa to letting your grandma spoil your dog with cake, there are plenty of ways for pet parents to make their fur babies feel special. That said, Pedro's perfectly serene snout is proof that dogs don't always need the lap of luxury. Most of the time, they just need the lap of a loving person.

Dachshunds have highly sociable personalities. After all, they were originally bred to hunt badgers, so they're used to working closely with humans. This makes it instinctually easy for pups like Pedro to bond and quickly become "Velcro dogs" who never leave your side. In other words, they seek physical closeness with people they trust, and getting showered with kisses is one way to accomplish this. To be fair, dachshunds' affection-seeking behaviors can occasionally lead to issues with separation anxiety. Still, it's easy to forgive them for a little neediness when their tiny loaf bodies make them one of the snuggliest pets on the planet. 

As perfect as Pedro is, he already has a father to spoil him. For prospective parents looking for a dog to dote on, plenty of breeds beyond dachshunds are worth considering. In fact, Labrador retrievers, cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Staffordshire bull terriers, Newfoundlands, and Havanese are among the most affectionate dog breeds. And, of course, there are a plethora of wiener dogs like Pedro to choose from, all of which would benefit from a caring, cuddly owner. Just know that if you bring them home to a lab brother or sister, you'll need a lot of kisses to go around. Stock up on chapstick.
