Most people, and even dogs for that matter, assume that “no” is the end of a conversation, but Opie has other plans. This rescue dog has a very specific move in his arsenal for when his mom makes the wrong decision. In a video posted on Instagram by @justopiethings, a Pit Bull mix is proving that silence is actually the loudest way to complain. According to his bio, he is a quirky side-eye king who basically runs on belly rubs and personality. He has gathered over 258k followers who tune in just to see his latest facial expressions. It is clear that this polite boy isn’t going anywhere until he gets exactly what he wants.
Rescue dog knows exactly how to convince mom
The video opens in the living room with Opie sitting on the couch in a very dignified pose. He has his front paws crossed, and his ears pulled back while he looks directly at his mom. The text on the screen explains that he just stares politely until she finally decides to change her mind. He is definitely an emotional pup who knows how to use his face to get a result.
He stays remarkably still while his mom films his intense gaze. Every few seconds, he blinks or briefly glances at the camera like he knows he is being recorded. Then he goes right back to staring into her soul. This isn’t the first time he has judged her decisions, either. In past videos, fans have seen how he judges her for making up songs.
This specific rescue dog move is just another tool in his very large kit of manipulation. It can be hard to stay firm with a “no” when faced with those crossed paws. Opie has clearly figured out that being a polite dog pays off in the long run.
The clip has already gone viral with over 68.6k likes so far.
