Golden Retriever charms stranger into buying him a snack
This Golden Retriever named Charlie was at a cafe, standing in the queue, waiting for his turn to reach the counter and place an order for his favorite snack. But soon, his patience ran out, and the two-year-old pup “pushed in line,” much to his pet parent, Lauren’s, dismay.
But then, the unexpected happens as per the video on @laurencodyandcharlie. Instead of growling at the mom, the pooch “manipulated a random stranger into buying him an $8 rice Krispy square.” As a result, not only does the stranger end up buying the treat for the pup, but also feeds Charlie, an act that wins the pup’s and the mom’s hearts.
No wonder the video, captioned “The master manipulator aka Charlie,” won many hearts online with his pup’s actions and the stranger’s kindness. Many netizens heaped praises for both in the comment section of the post, with one saying, “I guarantee this was the highlight of her week. She told everyone she knows about feeding the cutest dog.” Another follower commented, “Lady is sooo sweet.”
A pet lover praised the pup, saying, “Charlie is a KING!!!!!! Haha love you little dude!” Another person also supported the pooch’s action and expressed, “He’s not manipulative he’s just cute.”
