The moment a rescue dog cried to her owner for a specific spot on the couch has left social media users demanding justice for the fur baby.
TikTok user @rmveabaq662's 4-year-old rescue dog was born under a trailer in Alabama, but after being adopted, she only knows a life of luxury. She went from being rescued to a house princess in an instant, learning she could get her way if she cried and whined.
She also became specific about what she wants, with her favorite thing being the couch, which she found was a safe haven with multiple uses—for cozying up with her owners or as a perch to perform her neighborhood watch duties. But she was up in paws when her owner took a specific spot on her couch.
In the November 9 TikTok video, the rescue dog protested and stared at her owner in disbelief. How dare her spot be taken? After all she went through before getting adopted, she's still getting mistreated? Her owner should know better than that.
The dog huffed and puffed, slightly stomping her paws to show she meant business. She cried for the spot right that very second. In the clip, the owner didn't budge. She's used to her dog demanding specifics and wanted to film it for others to see her rags-to-riches rescue's request.
"This happens all the time," the owner told Newsweek via TikTok. "Especially in regards to getting the exact spot she wants on the couch."
The clip has over 291,200 views on TikTok, and people were cracking up over the dog's protest, even though a different and open couch was available for her to use. The owner assured them there was a method to her madness.
One comment reads: "That couch is for greeting guests and looking out the window and the other couch is for being cozy- rules she made up on her own."
Other people wrote in the comments section how they felt for the dog, saying she deserved that spot. Plus, as one person put it, she had "some very valid arguments."
"Girl, if you don't get out of her spot!!" a viewer demanded. A second echoed: "It is required that she gets her spot!! Now!!!"
Another added: "The stress yawns when they're pouting always trips me out."
