And why did this make Flynn so angry? The dog had been expertly taught that digging holes in the yard was a big no-no!

Emma later took to TikTok to share the hilarious footage and explained in the video's on-screen text, "[Flynn] gets told off for digging so he's telling my dad off for it too."

Viewers on TikTok found Flynn's confused and outraged reaction totally hilarious, taking to the comments to react to the moment.

"'The HYPOCRISY, father!!!'" one user joked.

"i think he's letting you know it wasn't him doing the digging," another wrote.

As the video continues to make the rounds online, one thing seems to be clear: TikTokers are on Flynn's side!
