Determined Dog Carries His Food Bowl to Grandpa's House Looking for Second Dinner
If you have a dog at home, you're probably well aware that most pups will happily beg for extra food, even after they've eaten and snacked all day long. But 10-year-old Buddy has developed a much more direct approach when it comes to scoring second dinner: The smart pup heads straight to Grandpa's house.
Buddy doesn't even bother to ask Mom because he already knows the answer. Instead, he picks up his food bowl and confidently marches over to Grandpa's, apparently convinced that if anyone is going to fall for his "I'm starving" routine, it's Grandpa. Judging by the way he carries his bowl like evidence, Buddy seems to know that there's no way Grandpa will tell him no.

@AMH made us laugh when they pointed out, "At least he's getting his steps in between his meals, lol!" Stephanie replied, "That's true! It's a long walk with lots of hills over there!!"
Another commenter added, "The sass and confidence in his walk. He's done this a few times..." @Tonya Wiggel replied, "Thinking the same. Definitely NOT his first trip!"
Commenter @The Yaya Hope asked, "Wait, does he bring the bowl back?" Stephanie replied, "Yes!! He goes back and forth with it! LOL!"
@FROLICH spoke for all of us when they said, "To be fair, if a dog I knew just showed up at my door with a food bowl, it would feel rude to refuse him, lol." We can't argue with that logic!
