A dog owner from Oklahoma shared a video of her bloodhound throwing a temper tantrum on TikTok, and the reason behind it has left users across the platform in stitches.
The viral video, shared in August under the username @bonniethebloodhound, shows the pup, Bonnie, barking and howling at her owner, refusing to stop unless she agrees to let her have what she wants. "Bonnie acting sassy [because] she can't get to the garbage can (we're playing)," reads a caption shared with the post.
As much as it may anger them, keeping your dog away from the trash can should be a rule in every household. That's because some of the foods that we like and eat with no issue, including a few fruits and vegetables, can be very dangerous for our pups.
An article published by Web MD, medically reviewed by Dr. Poonam Sachdev, says that food and drink such as alcohol, xylitol, chocolate, cookies, and most things with sugar can be very dangerous for dogs, so should always be kept out of their way.
However, even foods that seem innocuous can cause harm. For example, foodstuffs such as grapes, raisins, onions and garlic, among other fruits and vegetables, are highly toxic for dogs, and should be avoided at all costs.
So, you might be wondering, can we share any of our foods with our pups at all? Dr. Jerry Klein, chief veterinary officer at the American Kennel Club in Chicago, Illinois, previously told Newsweek that there are some human foods we can share with our canines, in moderation.
These include blueberries, carrots, cheese, green beans, cooked eggs, cooked chicken or turkey (without spices, skin, or bones), and cooked fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel (without bones, spices, or garlic).
The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 457,000 views and more than 115,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Ash Jack, commented: "I thought I was the only one that got this outta my blood hound..."
Ian posted: "It's like having a sibling dudeeee, i love bothering the dogs."

Newsweek reached out to @bonniethebloodhound for comment via TikTok comments. We could not verify the details of the case.
