Dogs can be surprisingly sneaky when they want something from us. Whether it’s food, attention, or a walk, they’ve mastered the art of getting their way, often by acting adorably polite.
Sometimes, they’ll sit by your side with those irresistible puppy eyes while you’re eating, hoping you’ll slip them a bite, even if they just finished their own meal minutes ago.
You may try to be strong and avoid overfeeding them, but let’s be honest, those sweet eyes win more often than not. It’s a clever little trick that works almost every time.
But what this pup from Texas pulled off was even funnier and a perfect example of just how hilariously cunning dogs can be when they’re trying to get what they want.
One Smart Pup With A Plan
When Adam Paul Williams noticed his dog, Olive, giving him a hopeful look, he knew right away that she was up to something.
She wagged her tail excitedly as soon as he stood up, making it clear that she wanted him to follow her somewhere.
Curious about where she was leading him (and half-expecting a mess) Adam decided to go along with it. Maybe Olive had broken something, or maybe she just had a surprise in store.
As she led the way, Olive kept glancing back to make sure Adam was still following. It was like she didn’t want him to miss a thing.
Finally, she stopped at her food bowl, gave him one last look, and clearly pointed out that it was empty and clearly should not be.
That’s when Adam realized what her little game was all about. It wasn’t a broken vase or a lost toy. Olive just wanted her meal.
He wasn’t shocked, but the whole thing was so funny that he decided to film the moment.
What Did The Internet Think?
Adam shared the hilarious clip on his TikTok channel, and as expected, Olive’s clever routine quickly caught attention.
One viewer wrote:
“The clearest communication I’ve ever seen from a dog.”
Watching Olive look back at her human while leading him right to her bowl was priceless.
Another user commented:
“Don’t they train us so well?!? My dog grunts at me until I start listing the possible things she wants, she barks when I say the right one.”
It’s always amazing to hear how other dogs communicate with their owners. Some of them are so specific and expressive. It’s like having a tiny furry roommate.
Someone else added:
“That’s the most blatant c’mon I’ve ever seen. Omg she’d be so fat if she did that to me, I’d be like ohhh okay okay.”
And that’s exactly the point! How can anyone resist that level of charm? If Olive gave me that look, I’d be handing over treats immediately.
In the end, Olive’s sneaky food reminder gave everyone a good laugh and reminded us just how sharp and expressive our pups can be when they want something.
Videos like this never get old. They show that dogs don’t need words to tell us exactly what’s on their mind and somehow, they always get the message across.
