This is not funny or cute. This puppy is not playing. You so-called "dog experts" are WRONG. This is not a happy puppy.

Yes Tia, very obvious that this little pup is too young to have to coordination to flip himself over.
He's not having fun and the videographer just lets him struggle. People who do not have understanding and compassion for animals should not have pets. Parents often buy them for children as mere play things without educating them on proper care.

Is that it's mother sleeping in the upper right corner? Hahaha! Bad mom award! Cute pup!

The dog isn't stuck or struggling. Watch closely you can see he uses his front legs to lean back the other way when he has far enough in one direction of travel. The doggie is just goofing around rolling back and forth, he is not trying to get up in the least.

Pick up the poor baby, someone.

Dollars to do-nuts, the puppy's name is now Turtle!!

I bet the Death Panels wouldn't give him a chance.

jesus that was hilarious...
you made my day

I think that those who think that this is animal abuse don't know squat about puppies. Very young puppy + hardwood floors = lots of rolling around until they get stronger/learn.

It's really strange that I can't get a comment posted that was about something that is on HuffPo right now.

Could you pls explain?

I'm a professional dog trainer. This puppy is not in pain or having a seizure or is disabled in any way. He is playing a game. This is what puppies do, they play games. And he found a fun one.

if you watch some of the other videos connected to this one you will see the mom and siblings.

Yikes!

[doglove]

This is funny? Sad, very, very sad.

I can't believe how many here think the puppy is somehow physically or mentally damaged.

I have a hint: Very young puppy...Sl­ick...hard­wood...flo­or.

Ok - who sat through that and I didn't say "help him!" ?????

[Rachael78]

a few seconds would have been cute, but I think the dog has neurological problems. sad.

Slick hardwood floor.
