If patience is a virtue, then dogs are perhaps the best and worst examples of it. They’ll wait by the door for hours, but can’t sit through 10 minutes of you eating without making their feelings known. And while some make their demands loud and obvious, others prefer to play it cool, as if their casual “I’m not interested” act will somehow make you hand over a spoonful. In a new video, Dyce the Rottweiler put on an Oscar-worthy performance when his mom sat down with breakfast, and viewers can’t stop laughing at his antics.
Video shows Rottweiler trying to ‘act natural’ while making a play for owner’s breakfast
Dyce, a Rottweiler with an impressive online presence of 378K followers on Instagram and 1.7 million fans on TikTok, is no stranger to the spotlight. Nonetheless, his latest viral moment had viewers in stitches. The video shows Dyce sitting beside his owner while she enjoys her breakfast from a bowl. At first, he plays it cool, looking directly at the camera as if food isn’t even on his mind. The caption humorously reads, “POV: You want mom’s breakfast but try to act natural.”
But it doesn’t take long for his façade to slip. As his mom raises a spoonful to her mouth, Dyce’s eyes begin to wander. He shifts his gaze toward the bowl, then back to the camera, trying to maintain composure. Eventually, his mouth starts to water, and visible drool trickles down as he struggles to hold back his obvious desire. The contrast between his initial “I don’t care” pose and his eventual laser focus makes the clip especially funny. His patience is remarkable, but his body language gives him away. Dyce clearly wants in on breakfast.
Fans flooded the comments with their reactions, many admitting they wouldn’t be able to resist such persistence. One person joked, “I have a hard enough time saying no to my dog, I would stand no chance with Dyce.” Another put words into the pup’s mouth, writing, “Mother, you eat so slowly, I fear your food may go bad. I am willing to make the sacrifice and assist you in your meal.” Someone else encouraged Dyce to go for it, saying, “Just take it, she’ll get over it.” And plenty of viewers were impressed by his restraint, with one remarking, “The patience is unbelievable.”
