Griff has apparently made one thing very clear to his human: stairs are not his responsibility. The rescue dog has gone viral for refusing to tackle the stairs himself, leaving his owner to figure out another way to get him where he needs to go. The funny moment comes from an Instagram video shared on the account @griffenthegoodboy, which follows Griff and his everyday adventures.
Stubborn rescue dog makes his owner handle the stairs for him
The video shows Griff sitting close to his owner inside the house as they deal with his refusal to use the stairs. Instead of going up or down, Griff stays where he is and seems to wait for his owner to figure out what to do. The video captures Griff’s stubborn side, who seems perfectly comfortable letting his owner do the work.
The dog sits beside his owner’s legs and looks around rather than making any move toward the stairs. His owner bends down near him, apparently trying to assist him. Another part of the video shows Griff sitting on the bed with his owner, making it clear that he would rather stay somewhere comfortable than deal with the stairs. The video caption sums up Griff’s behavior: “Here we are again, Griff refusing to take the stairs.”
Griff’s Instagram bio describes him as having “short legs, long body” and calls him a “Brooklyn doggo.” More than 1,800 people follow his account, where his owner shares moments from the rescue dog’s daily life and shows off his personality. His profile does not mention his exact breed, so it is better to describe him as a short-legged rescue mix.
Griff’s refusal quickly prompted viewers to offer their own solutions. One person suggested, “But he’s only a baby; he needs airlifting !!!!” Another viewer summed up the situation with a simple request: “Elevator service please.” One viewer wrote, “Treats just out of their reach on the stairs. They will start climbing!”
