A social-media video that captures a dog's refusal to walk on a windy path has led to plenty of laughter online.
The viral video, which has been viewed more than 563,000 times since it was first shared to TikTok on December 1, showed what Andy Simpson and his wife Amy-Jo Simpson have to do when their tiny dog decides that they'd rather not walk.
The couple had been on a windy coastal walk in East Cowes on the Isle of Wight in the U.K. when they decided to place their adorable Cavapoo puppy named Hugo inside Mr. Simspon's waterproof coat.

While the dog starts the clip shows his head popping outside of his owner's jacket, making for a very cute view, he then disappears into Andy Simpson's coat after the wind picks up.
The post had been captioned: "It's a dogs life!"
Pet-care supplier Rover says that cavapoos are warm and affectionate dogs that love to stay close to their owners. Rover writes on its website: "They have big hearts with plenty of affection to go around. Plus, they're known to bark a bit less and have a slightly chiller vibe than some other doodles, which is all the more reason to snuggle them".
Both the Simpsons are content creators with a joint following of over 3.5 million users on TikTok. The pair regularly post comedy videos and their own take on viral trends with each other and their wider family to their social media accounts. The couple recently released a Christmas single, of which all proceeds will be allocated to charity.
Newsweek reached out to Andy Simpson for more information via TikTok and gained his permission to share this video.
