Let's be honest, who doesn't love to get a little sweet treat with their errands? At least that's what this golden retriever is fighting. Colin is used to stopping by his favorite coffee shop for a little treat, but this time, his mom's "poor planning" means he has to finish his walk without it. What a tragedy.

Not happy with the abrupt change in his routine, Colin isn't going down without a fight. In front of a Tim Hortons, Colin makes it clear to his mom that he won't stand for the injustice.

Funny Reactions to Colin's Hilarious Tim Hortons Tantrum

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/04aeDN9Yebs

Walking alone with her two golden retrievers, this dog mom landed herself in hot water with her pup, Colin, who insisted she stick to their routine of getting a snack from Tim Hortons. In the video, the dog mom explains that she typically heads inside while her two goldens wait with their dad outside of the store, while she grabs them a Timbit, a tiny donut treat.

However, this time around, the mom found herself walking them on her own, which meant she had no way to enter the store and leave them outside. She also explained that leaving them outside on their own was not an option. Yet, this excuse wasn't good enough for Colin, who refused to leave the premises until she delivered on their regular treats.

Unfortunately for Colin, he eventually had to give in and continue on their walk. However, the comment section was abuzz with resentment and indignation on Colin's behalf over his tragic life event. "Poor planning on your part, Mummy, does not mean an emergency for me!" commented one user. Another viewer sent a clear warning to the dog mom with, "Doris, you better keep your promise!!!"

Although we are sure that Colin and his golden sibling eventually got their Timbits, we have to admit that his stubbornness and resistance were quite the hilarious sight. "Mom! You know the drill, and we know it's not your first day, treat tax !!!" someone else commented. Surely, the treat tax had to be paid upon the trio's return home. Otherwise, Colin was definitely going to have another fit, and we can only imagine how big that would've been.
