This pooch suffers from preparation anxiety.
An enterprising pup has devised an ingenious, new coronavirus pandemic skill during lockdown — convincing her owner to serve her dinner several hours early. A thread showcasing her adorable bargaining tactics has amassed more than 65,000 likes on Twitter.
“During quarantine, my dog has used a combination of intense sitting and adorable staring to bargain her dinner time down from 5 to 330,” tweeted Tommy Vietor. “It’s now 2:50…hold the line, Tommy. Hold the line.”
An accompanying pic shows the persuasive pup-licant sitting while flashing the camera her best woeful “Bambi” eyes.

Unfortunately, the paws-car-worthy performance was apparently not enough, as minutes later, he posted a photo of his pet placing a pleading paw on her owner’s foot.
“Things have escalated,” Vietor tweeted.
Begging for her supper is not the pup’s only quarantine talent. He explained in a subsequent post that she’s also “learned that inching over and lying down on my head at around 530am is a good way to get breakfast early.”

“Same move. From 7 to 5:30 and falling,” tweeted an empathizing owner about his doggo’s re-scheduled supper time. An accompanying pic shows his pup flashing him a look so heartbreaking it could be featured in an ASPCA commercial.

“I’m in a similar situation but mine throws in some whining and aggressive couch crowding,” wrote one dog parent, including a photo of his groveling Rover-lord. “She’s managed to push her dinner to a point I’m considering just adding a lunch course, this is untenable.”
