If you’ve ever raised a dog, you know there are stages that feel strikingly similar to parenting a teenager. From sudden bursts of energy to dramatic moods, pets often develop personalities that make their owners laugh, groan, or both. These quirks, however, are often what make life with them so memorable. One Doberman has now gone viral in a video for “beefing” with her owner and showing just how “teen-like” a dog can be.
Doberman cannot stop beefing with owner in cute Instagram video
A Doberman called Zeusa is showcasing her dramatic side in a video shared to Instagram by the account @thedivadobie. The clip captures Zeusa barking and whining at her owner as though she’s airing out a long list of complaints. The post jokingly describes her behavior as a “teen phase,” with the Doberman behaving like a moody adolescent who always has the last word.
To amplify the humor, the video is set to an audio clip of two women bickering, which lines up almost perfectly with Zeusa’s vocalizations. The combination makes it feel like she’s arguing point for point with her owner. It’s not clear what exactly Zeusa is demanding. Nonetheless, her persistence leaves little doubt that she has strong feelings about the situation. Her owner added in the caption that with Dobermans, the “teen phase” doesn’t necessarily end, writing that it’s “basically permanent.”
The post quickly drew reactions from amused viewers who related to both the chaos and humor of living with a vocal dog. One person commented, “Extra spicy, I like it.” Another added, “I don’t think there’s a volume off button on that breed.” A third viewer laughed at the accuracy of the behavior, saying, “LOL it’ll never really stop now, she’ll question you for everything.” Someone else pointed out how well the chosen soundtrack fit, writing, “Why does this audio match so well?”
While Dobermans are not the most vocal breed compared to, say, Huskies or Beagles, they have no problem letting their owners know what’s on their minds. Many Doberman owners report that their dogs use a wide range of barks, whines, and “talking” sounds to communicate. Combined with their sharp intelligence, this often results in dramatic or stubborn behavior, precisely the kind of “teenage attitude” Zeusa is now famous for.
