This 19-second clip of a man and his dogs tells a story far better than words could

If a picture paints a thousand words, how many does a video paint? This clip, shared by author @SamSykesSwears on Twitter, certainly speaks volumes.

There’s just something about the weary trudge that makes it very clear what happened on the other side of the spectacular gate. The clip was originally posted to Facebook, where the unfortunate man simply said:

“Going out to walk the dog can’t be too much…
I accidentally fell into the ditch…”

“It was a mistake to take all three dogs for a walk at the same time.”

(Via Google Translate)

That’s quite the mistake.

Twitter user @_knucklebone had the correct response to the miserable scene.

*quietly puts the kettle on for this poor man*
