by Watch this hilarious video of a startled Dachshund when he saw a moving and singing penguin toy. The Dachshund tried to smell and check out the penguin toy at first, but before he did so he looked at his owners as if he was asking for their permission. The confused dachshund did not know what to do as the penguin toy started to move so it just ran from one room to another just passing by where the penguin toy was standing! It’s ok little guy, the penguin is harmless.
