This English Bulldog Freaks Out Over the Funniest Things
Some dogs are so chill, they just kick back and relax, making friends with everyone and everything that crosses their path-and then, there is Pancake.
Pancake is an English bulldog, and Pancake is not chill about anything. Thankfully, Pancake's humans upload all kinds of cute "unhinged" content onto her YouTube channel, so we can all enjoy the adorable meltdowns.

"Things Pancake considers national emergencies," the video caption reads. Spoiler alert: these will be everyday things that aren't cause for serious alarm-unless you're Pancake.

"New objects brought into the house." This sets Pancake off right away! Of course, any new objects brought from outside the house are off-limits, so it's really just new things Pancake doesn't trust.
"Petting that's interrupted before she's done" is another thing Pancake just can not abide. What do you mean your hand isn't a robotic dog-petting machine? What else could you possibly have to use your hands for?
"Her toys being moved without consent" is a big no-go for Pancake, even if Mom is only moving them back to the place where toys belong.
"Bubble gum being popped" is also a no. Dad! What were you thinking?
"Stuffed intruders in her house" is a very funny one, and we watch as Pancake attacks a plushie tucked in bed. Just like with new things, Pancake doesn't want to find any "stuffed intruders" outside the home, either.
Pancake also doesn't trust the pool filter hole, humans that don't share their snacks, having to sunbathe inside the house due to cold weather, and whenever dinner is delayed by two minutes. Hey, the last one is relatable!

"Pancake is a riot!" one commenter says. "She is absolutely adorable."
"We all need a pancake in our life," says another fan.
"Not things she considers emergencies, things she /knows/ are emergencies," laughs another.
Are English Bulldogs Naturally Finnicky?
This might not be a Pancake problem. English bulldogs are known to be rather specific with their wants and needs.
English bulldogs can be picky eaters and may refuse certain foods if they don't like the texture or flavor. Even with foods they used to love, English Bulldogs can change their minds quickly and start turning down former favorites.
While some folks may see English bulldogs as rather aloof, they're actually very independent and can be quite stubborn. When training this intelligent breed, it's key to ensure the dog sees the purpose in the command; otherwise, your dog might just ignore the whole lesson.
English bulldogs are also very sensitive to changes in their home and surroundings, just like Pancake. This can be triggered by changes in temperature, when and where they receive attention, where and when they are given toys and other seemingly small matters that are actually a big deal to these dogs.
As it turns out, Pancake isn't being a drama queen. She is just being an English bulldog!
