A toddler learning how to use their high chair tray usually means a very happy dog is waiting right below. Nobody understands this waiting game better than Ollie, a handsome three-year-old black Labrador from Sydney, Australia. His family shares his and his sibling Cali’s daily adventures over at @cali.and.ollie__ for their growing community of followers. And in a recent video proves that this clever pup has successfully trained the newest human family member to deliver treats on demand. Instead of waiting for an accidental spill, he managed to secure a deliberate snack straight from the baby.
Dog and baby love being partners in crime as they share snacks
The footage starts right in the dining room, where baby Ellie is hanging out in her high chair with food items spread across the tray. Ollie recognizes the perfect opportunity and sits tightly against the legs of the chair. He tries shoving his snout through the tiny gap beneath the plastic tray, but cannot quite reach the goods.
The toddler quickly clocks the dog waiting patiently by her side before making her next big move. She looks back toward her mom, who is filming the entire interaction from across the room. The sneaky toddler then picks up a piece of a snack, looks straight into the camera lens, and calmly hands it over to her furry partner.
Mom is audibly surprised by the deliberate handout because it was definitely not an accident. The baby keeps her eyes locked onto her parent the entire time to see if she is going to get any more reaction from her. She only looks back at the pup to flash a giant smile once the mission is officially complete.
The hilarious collaboration quickly secured over 4.6k likes from amused parents who recognize the teamwork. The soundtrack features the iconic Pink Panther theme music, which fits the sneaky vibe perfectly. One viewer loved the priceless glance over her shoulder to check for witnesses. Another fan joked that the pair are official partners in crime and that the pup has been waiting months for this milestone. It is safe to say that kitchen cleanup duties are fully covered from now on.
