On May 31st in Hubei, China, a pet owner captured a hilariously adorable moment when her duckling had an emotional meltdown after its watermelon rind was stolen by a puppy.

In the video, the duckling is happily nibbling on a piece of watermelon skin when the family's dog suddenly snatches it away. Instead of chasing after the thief, the duckling dramatically flops onto the ground and lies motionless — seemingly sulking in silent protest.

Moments later, the owner intervenes and returns the watermelon rind. Instantly, the duckling perks up and resumes eating, its despair forgotten in a flash.

The clip has amused viewers across social media, showcasing the surprisingly expressive personalities of animals — and the petty drama that can unfold over a piece of fruit.
