A dog owner from Temecula, California, shared a video of her Siberian husky refusing to engage with her or even just acknowledge her presence, and the reason why has left internet users in stitches.
The hilarious post shared on Instagram in May under the username @sassyhuskies, shows the pup, 9-year-old Eva, in the front seat of her owner's car, hiding her face away and refusing to interact with her as a punishment for making her leave her favorite pet store.
"Are you ignoring me because we left the pet store? Eva we can't stay there all day, baby!" the poster can be heard telling the pup, as she sticks to her guns, refusing to even turn around and look at her.
"She was soooo mad when we left her fav pet store," the caption says.

The poster, Olivea Michel, told Newsweek that Eva loves visiting her favorite pet store in Temecula, Puptqe, and when they try to leave, she throws a tantrum where she will lie on the ground and refuse to move.
"She will go as far as pretending to be asleep to ignore me," she said. "On this day, they gave me a treat to lure her back to the car with, and once we got in the car, and she realized she had been tricked, she put her head to look at the backseat and refused to respond to me.
"I was only able to win back her attention by stopping at the ice cream store on the way home and sharing some ice cream with her. She's very sensitive and emotional and will throw a tantrum to ignore me when she doesn't get her way."
While Siberian huskies are known for being intelligent, talkative, and fun to be around, Gentle Vet lists them as number three most challenging dogs, especially for beginners.
Just like Eva, these pups tend to throw a tantrum when things don't go their way, and their intelligence and strong-will can make dealing with them frustrating.
Other challenging dog breeds in the list include Belgian Malinois, which need extensive physical and mental exercise, and without the firm training are prone to neurotic and destructive behavior; Catahoula leopard dogs, also prone to destructive behavior; Chow Chows, and border collies.
The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 13.6 million views and 732,500 likes.
One user, Somethinglikeaclassic, commented: "She said I need a moment to figure out why you hate me so much. The dramatics is outstanding."
