This is the hilarious moment a chubby dachshund tumbles down a flight of stairs after failing to make it up the last step.

Security camera footage shows the owner removing the leashes from the sausage dogs, called Felix and Victoria, at the steps in front of his home in Oakland, California.

"I always take their leashes off before coming up the stairs after their walk because they like running up to the house without them," the filmer wrote.

Victoria bounds up the steps without a problem, but Felix manages to make it to the final hurdle before rolling down to the bottom again.

The owner rushes to comfort the poor pooch, carrying him up to the front door to avoid a repeat of the incident.

"He was fine after the fall, he was taken to the vet and they confirmed he was overweight and now he's on a diet," the filmer added.

The video was captured on March 4 last year.

I took my two Dachshunds dogs , both 10y/s Felix and Victoria for their regular walk around the house. I always take their leashes off before coming up the stairs after their walk because they like running up to the house without them. Unfortunately , Felix wasn't able to make it to the last step of the stairs and fell down in almost every single one of them.
He was fine after the fall, he was taken to the Vet and they confirmed he was overweight and now he's on a diet.

The video was taken by our security camera.
