But his reaction was just _so_ entertaining. You can hear his howling from across the backyard, and then as the camera gets closer, you can hear him yelling, “I NEED PAPER TOWELS.” The child, who, it should be noted, is sporting a t-shirt that says “YOU DON’T KNOW ME,'” wails something like, “I’m not so excited!” Also, please note that the alleged pooper, who appears to be a pug, is just silently watching the drama unfold from the safety of the deck. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3915049/kid-steps-in-dog-poop-freaks-out/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3915049/kid-steps-in-dog-poop-freaks-out/"},"headline":"Watch This Kid Have a Complete Meltdown After Stepping in Dog Poop","datePublished":"2015-06-09T21:17:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:55.793Z","description":"\"I NEED PAPER TOWELS!\"","url":"https://time.com/3915049/kid-steps-in-dog-poop-freaks-out/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3915049/kid-steps-in-dog-poop-freaks-out/","name":"Watch This Kid Have a Complete Meltdown After Stepping in Dog Poop"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Meet Boo.
