After a video of a dog named London tearing up his owner’s supply of toilet paper went viral on social media, the internet was left in stitches.
The dog destroys his owner’s supply of toilet paper before noticing his owner enter the storage room and striking the “flop down and side eye” pose. He then acts as if nothing happened and that he was just looking for something else in the popular video, which was shared by the dog’s owner earlier in August on TikTok under the username Aquietseer.
The caption for the video of the adorable Havanese-Poodle mix, or Havapoo, reads as follows: “caught my puppy red-handed,” followed by “It’s his response for me.”
The American Kennel Club (AKC) states that there are numerous potential causes for your dog’s toilet paper consumption.

Puppies may do it out of curiosity as they use their jaws to explore their surroundings, whereas adult dogs may seek paper because their diet is deficient in important elements like iron.
Other medical diseases, such as diabetes or worms resorting to toilet paper out of hunger, could also be to blame, as could dog with digestive issues.
Due to the medical disease known as “pica,” which is an eating disorder that causes humans and dogs to want inedible objects and is frequently brought on by anemia or zinc deficiency, dogs may consume toilet paper. Dogs who are anxious may also chew or tear the paper to calm themselves.
Another possibility is that your dog is simply bored. A dog may eat toilet paper to get the attention they want if they aren’t getting it since they perceive even negative reactions as attention.
The video rapidly drew the attention of animal lovers on the internet and has since received over 2.3 million views and 389,200 likes.
