Dogsitting for a litter of adorable puppies isn't all snuggles and belly rubs, one man has learned.

James Philipsen was dog-sitting for his sister's Rottweiler puppies in Washington state when he found himself surrounded.

"They're very lovable puppies and they just want to be wherever you are all the time," he said.

Unfortunately, the zeal of the adorable dogs led Philipsen to trip over them.

Video of his faceplant has since gone viral, and Philipsen says there's no one to blame but himself.
