A dog owner from Boston caught his dog's unusual fixation on camera, and internet users can't stop speculating about what's triggering it.

In a viral video shared on TikTok in November under the username @themattyrossi, the 2-year-old Dachshund can be seen frantically scratching the fridge door with his paws as if trying to dig a hole in it.

"He will not stop doing this. I don't know what he wants. I've opened the door, he gets uninterested and he just keeps doing this. It doesn't end," the poster explains in the clip. "Just come pick him up if you want him. You might have to take the fridge with you, though."

Matt Rossi, the pup's owner, told Newsweek that Kirkland is his "partner in crime," with whom he has been making fun lifestyle content for over a year and a half.

"In this particular video, Kirkland had been adamantly scratching at the refrigerator nonstop. After posting on the internet, there was a ton of speculation around potential treats or toys behind or under the fridge or even a visit from some critters," he said.

Over 3.6 million users have seen his video so far, and some are sure there is a good reason behind the pup's odd behavior.

One user, Lizawithaz, commented: "Guarantee his toy rolled under the fridge. You musstttt pull the fridge out."

Commenter Cael said: "There's a toy, food or a rodent under the fridge."

Pippe Shortstockings wrote: "The reflection on the fridge, he thinks it's alive."

Rossi later discovered what was going on in the pup's head during filming, and it's even more hilarious than users had thought.

"Just turns out Kirkland is a smart and stubborn little guy who knew that the refrigerator has food and he was just hungry for a snack. Don't underestimate the dedication of a hungry pup," he said.

Most dogs would do anything for a treat, and while giving them a little snack is usually harmless, constantly overfeeding them can be detrimental to their health.

All dogs are different, and the amount of food they need varies based on their age, size, and activity levels.

A Pet MD article by Dr. Jennifer Coates says that dogs between 3 and 12 pounds should eat around ½–1¼ cups of food per day, while dogs over 100 pounds can eat up to 4⅔ cups, plus ⅓ cups for every 10 pounds of body weight over 100 pounds.

The frequency of their meals is also affected by their stage in life. An article shared by The Vets, written by Dr. Rebecca MacMillan, says that an adult dog should be fed about twice a day to avoid getting hungry in between meals.
