Pets, especially dogs and cats, often get away with things that humans — including kids — would usually be scolded for. This is especially true for a viral TikTok video that shows just how much a cute pet can charm its way out of trouble.
In the 14-second clip, a playful bully dog casually walks into the kitchen and heads straight for an oven towel hanging nearby. The woman filming asks, “What are you doing?” and then warns, “No!” as the dog looks up at her. But from the moment the pup appeared, it was clear what was going to happen. The dog, wagging its tail and staring at the woman, grabs the towel and runs off with it, clearly treating it as part of a regular game. The woman, while sounding jokingly frustrated, can’t help but laugh at the dog’s cheeky behavior. It’s obvious the dog’s persistence and cuteness are impossible to stay mad at. And judging by the comments, TikTok viewers seem to agree.
How did TikTok react?
Many users humorously suggested that the towel actually belonged to the dog, not the woman. Comments like, “Stop putting his towel in the kitchen lol,” “What are you talking about? That’s HIS towel, the oven can BORROW it,” and “Actually, ma’am, it’s very kind of him to let you borrow HIS towel for a few hours…” added a fun twist to the situation. Some even suggested, “Maybe you’re stealing his oven towel!”
Others noticed how loved the dog must feel, saying things like, “You can clearly see that dog is in a loving home… he took it anyways knowing there wouldn’t be severe repercussions,” and “That boy has you wrapped. He knew you weren’t going to do anything about it.” It’s clear that the dog has a secure and happy life, allowing him to act so playful and misbehave without fear of punishment.
A few people defended the pup, claiming he was innocent, with comments like, “Are you sure it was him that stole it?? From the video, I see no record of him taking it,” and “As his lawyer, I will say he just a baby and could do no theft, so he’s innocent.” Some even joked that the dog wasn’t stealing the towel but was simply retrieving his property, with one comment saying, “He doesn’t steal it, he lets you borrow it. He was just simply coming to retrieve his property, your honor.”
Others felt the dog knew he was doing something wrong but didn’t care. One user said, “He knows it’s wrong but has no regrets,” while another added, “He had that look on his face that said, I’m doing it anyway. Gotta love dogs.”
Ultimately, most people were just charmed by the dog’s cuteness, writing things like, “Omg he’s adorable,” “He’s so cute,” and “THAT’S SO PRECIOUS.” It’s easy to see why the bully breed, especially French Bulldogs and Bulldogs, is one of the most popular dog types in the U.S., ranking at the top of the list for 2023. This little pup’s irresistible charm is certainly one of the reasons why!
