In a hilarious Instagram video, a pet owner films his dog sitting at a stranger’s table. Instagram user @jeremyloops, a South African singer-songwriter, shared the video that features his beloved dog, Maya. For some reason, the pooch decides to sit beside a stranger instead of sitting with her owner, creating a comedic scene.
Instagram video shows how a dog leaves owner for food at stranger’s table
The video shows the dog sitting with a stranger while dining. Quipping over the dog’s audacity, the owner writes, “Maya’s confidence is just special,” in the caption. Meanwhile, the on-screen caption calls Maya “the most shameless hound on earth,” jibing at her playful betrayal and decision to sit with a stranger, away from her owner.
The pet parent catches the dog red-handed, zooming in on her as he goes, “Look at this shameless dog of mine.” He further adds context by stating, “Sitting at someone else’s table, trying to have lunch with them.” As he continues recording, he observes, “She’s getting food as well,” in an excited voice. Maya, on the other hand, does not so much as look at her owner’s way. She focuses more on her business of getting food from strangers.
Viewers gathered in the hilarious video‘s comment section to defend Maya. One user voiced the dog’s sentiment, writing, “I’m socializing dad leave me alone,” while another noticed, “She’s working the crowd.” A third user joked, “I love it! Be careful, you may get replaced,” poking at the dog’s notoriety in ditching her owner and dining with a group of strangers.
Another viewer echoed the collective sentiment of all users, writing, “She is not yours anymore,” adding, “She is global personality.” “Uh, it’s called networking,” said a fifth comment, joining in the movement of defending the social dog.
While the owner may not agree with the viewers and their comments, the video is a gentle reminder of how friendly a dog can be to strangers if the right opportunity presents itself, especially if it involves food.
