Dogs can be quite crafty when they want something from us. They often display polite behavior, knowing it usually works, and may even gaze at us with those irresistible puppy eyes while we eat, hoping for a taste—even if they just had a meal five minutes earlier. Despite our intentions to keep them healthy, their clever tactics can be hard to resist.
One such funny incident occurred with a pup named Olive from Texas, showcasing the mischief dogs can display to get their way.
A Clever Plan
When Adam Paul Williams spotted Olive giving him those puppy eyes, he quickly realized she wanted something. As he got up, her tail began to wag in excitement, prompting him to follow her. Being curious about her intentions, he suspected she might have broken something, but it was hard to tell. However, Olive kept glancing back to ensure her owner was behind her, making it apparent this was something important for him to see.
They finally reached her food bowl, and Olive shot him one last look, clearly pointing at the food she eagerly awaited. Adam couldn’t help but find the situation hilarious and decided to capture it on video.
Well, What Does The Internet Say?
Shortly after, Adam shared this amusing video on his TikTok channel, and Olive quickly gained popularity for her clever antics. One viewer commented, “The clearest communication I’ve ever seen from a dog.” Many found Olive’s strategy of getting her owner to follow her while looking back and pointing at her food bowl to be quite comical.
Another user noted: “Don’t they train us so well?!? My dog grunts at me until I start listing the possible things she wants, and she barks when I guess right!” This shows how dogs have their own unique ways of communicating their desires. After all, who can resist those puppy eyes? One anonymous commenter quipped, “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!”
The reactions highlight just how observant and communicative dogs can be when it comes to their needs. I am continually amazed by their intelligence in situations like these, and videos capturing their antics often provide me with great joy.
