    I love how the dog thought “no they just don’t understand because I couldn’t explain it properly”

      It would be less funny, but since the dog can understand now, the humans could explain that “Yeah, buddy, we know and we want to give you all the food, but it’s not good for you and we love you and want you to be healthy even more than we want to give in and give you everything you want.💗”

    Yeah, around dinner time my dog whines and tries to lead you to where we keep his food. But he gets fed after the people eat and some times “around dinner time” is actually a few hours beforehand so his theatrics often go without getting what he wants straight away.

    Doesnt deter him though he just tries harder to make himself clearer. He must think we are so dense. How do we not understand? Hes being so clear! He would be very upset to find out we knew exactly what he was trying to say but were ignoring his pleas on purpose.

    Birds are like this too. I wish they could understand a lot of things humans eat will poison them.

    I have a theory that cuter dogs are less healthy because people are less able to resist their begging and give them food they really shouldn’t be eating. Not saying that people love cute dogs more or anything, but I think when their begging is less effective on the subconscious, baby caring-for part of your brain, it’s easier to make the right decision and realize that giving dogs random human food is not good for them and not doing them any favours.

    You’re a slave, buddy! Other people decide when you can eat! Nope! Can’t go outside and forage, either! It’s one big jail for you.

    You shoulda tried the monkey’s paw instead, but I guess you couldn’t know that.
