Imagine trying to wind down after a long day of homesteading, only to realize your family is scattered across the house. For Roscoe, a rescue living his best life at @goodboyshomestead, this is a genuine emergency. If you go by the dog’s expressions in the video, you’ll be convinced he is managing a crisis. As a Doberman Pinscher, he really, really needs his pack in one place. And the current seating arrangements are not cutting it with him at all. The video starts with him looking completely confused and betrayed. He stands on the sofa, front legs braced, staring at his human with pure accusation. Then he makes his case for “togetherness.”
Dog complains after mom and dad hangout in different areas of the house
The video itself is simple, which somehow makes it funnier. Roscoe stares. Then comes the sound. It starts as a tiny squeaky whine. But soom it grows louder and more dramatic, turning into a gurgly, emotional plea that feels very much like, “Can we please discuss why this is happening right now?” The on-screen text of the video explains the dog’s situation perfectly: “When my parents decide to hangout in different areas instead of staying together 24/7.”
According to his owner, “Once it’s dark, we all need to be together or else Roscoe complains.” And honestly, watching him spiral while standing on the couch like an anxious hall monitor, it tracks. Nighttime is when the monsters come out, after all. How is one dog supposed to protect everyone if the humans insist on being inconveniently spread out?
If you scroll his feed, this behavior checks out. Roscoe is a rescue living his best homestead life — hiking, foraging, supervising farm tasks — but he’s also a full-time velcro shadow. In another clip, his dad casually says goodbye on a hike, and Roscoe immediately comes charging back into frame like, Absolutely not.
The comments get it. One person wrote, “No fr, mine even runs in between our rooms to check on the whole house even the kids.” Another summed it up perfectly: “Doberman rules apply in this house too!” And our boy, Roscoe, seems to be the author of the said rulebook!
