Dogs are curious by nature, and they often end up putting things in their mouths that they regret. Take this Dachshund named Pip, for instance. She spotted a frog in her backyard and decided to go in for a taste test, but it definitely didn't go the way she expected.

Watch as Pip takes a sniff before gently biting the frog on its back. Surprisingly, the frog doesn't even try to hop away, so Pip takes a few more nibbles on it. What happens next is absolutely hysterical and has people watching the clip on repeat!

Pip's mom said exactly what the rest of us were thinking: "I guess it didn't taste good." We'll all take the Dachshund's word for it because we're not even tempted to find out for ourselves!

Replying to @OffspringPunk I think this made me laugh even harder than the original #daschund#dog#fyp

Oh No (Instrumental) - Kreepa

One commenter joked, "Instant regret." @Mithic pointed out, "Frog: fiercely unbothered." @Rebecca Lynn replied, "I strive to be this unbothered in life, LOL!" So do we!

ABC Home & Commercial Services says that when it comes to frogs and toads, it's best to keep your pets away from them. "When bitten or threatened, a toad's skin lets out a bitter taste and odor that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predator. It's the same type of defense mechanism a skunk uses. A toad's venom is highly toxic to your pets and can be deadly if left untreated. Even if the toad is already dead, or your dog drinks out of a water bowl a toad was bathing in, it is still a threat to your dog's health."
