Greg may want to stay inside tomorrow. 

A Manhattan dog having a ruff time attempting to walk in his new snow boots went viral on Instagram — with close to 1 million views.

Greg the Italian Greyhound of NoMad tried on his new boots for the first time as he prepared to head out to Madison Square Park — and his mom captured the adorable clip of him awkwardly and gingerly hobbling in them, captioning it: “Snow day in NYC … send help.”

“He was just trying his very best to walk in those boots and it looked so cute and funny, we had to take a video,” Greg’s mother, Andrea Liu, told The Post.

She initially just posted it on her personal Instagram page, but once her friends saw it, they pushed her to share it on Greg’s account, @gregtheig — where he boasts over 7,700 followers. And it quickly went viral.

The fur baby, who is just 2 years old, has only owned two pairs of boots so far.

“He’s been through two winters. His first winter, we had another pair of boots that wouldn’t really stay on, and he didn’t really like to wear them,” Liu explained.

So this year, his parents bought him a pair from HunnyBoots Australia, which creates clothing and accessories with greyhounds in mind.

“These stay on better, but he also doesn’t really like to wear them,” she added.

Greg, who was born in Georgia, does love wearing his Bongoof puffer coat though — which gets him through winters in the Big Apple.

“But he doesn’t like putting it on, but it’s needed because he has such short fur,” she said.

This is not the pup’s first time going viral.

Last summer, he racked up 20 million views for learning how to use a remote treat dispenser.
