Eating in front of a dog is a struggle for pet parents. It becomes difficult to avoid those pleading puppy eyes. But this Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has taken the begging drama to an unexpected level. An Instagram video shows how the pet, Rio, makes his presence known to his owner when the latter was munching on a bakery item. Jokingly, the pet parent wrote in the caption, “Rio is very resourceful.”
Instagram video shows dog almost sitting on owner’s head for food
In a hilarious Instagram video, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Rio has taken his begging to the “next level.” It shows how he pleads with his owner to share food in a unique way. In the clip, the dog dad is having a confectionery item while sitting on the floor. He rested his back on a couch nearby.
Rio has ruined his human’s munching time with his begging eyes. He is half standing and sitting on the couch, hovering over his pet parent’s head. It seems like the fur baby is almost sitting on his owner’s head to have a taste of the food. The man pauses for a moment when he sees Rio, who has his eyes fixated on the treat. He gulps and licks his nose when his dog dad begins to eat the snack again.
Meanwhile, viewers have gone gaga over the video. They expressed their emotions with laughter and heart emojis in the comments. A user further wrote, “That’s not begging. That’s saying Dad, don’t forget my share.” Another asked, “I would call it emotional blackmail begging. Too cute though. It did work though, right?” One individual quipped, “He’s from the food and beverage administration doing a quality control inspection so it’s ok.”
Some comments also referred to Rio as “taste tester” and called his act “very subtle.” While many found it funny and cute, a few also shared similar experiences with their pets. Since the upload, the video has received over 100K likes.
