Golden Retriever Patiently Waiting for Neighbor to 'Sneak Him Treats' Is a Legend
Golden Retriever Patiently Waiting for Neighbor to 'Sneak Him Treats' Is a Legend originally appeared on Parade Pets.
My Pug mix is very sneaky when it comes to treats. When I take his Doxie sister out to do her business, he expects a treat right along with her even though he didn't step one paw outside. My precious Puggie will also follow me into the basement at laundry time and refuse to come upstairs unless I entice him with the treat jar. My canine can be quite crafty.
Benny the Golden Retriever apparently has some sort of deal going on with his neighbor to score some extra treats and it's adorable.
In the TikTok from @bennythegoldennn, the patient pooch was by the fence outside apparently waiting for something or someone.
"Every day Benny waits for our neighbor to sneak him treats through the fence," the onscreen text read as the gorgeous Golden kept watch through the fence's missing slat.
A figure could be seen on the other side walking toward Benny as the craving canine leaned his head through the opening for the treasured treat.
"It's become their ritual," the story explained.
Benny joyfully ran into the house after his daily snack with his tail in full wag.
"Did you get a treat?" his mom asked. The fur baby sat in front of her with what looked like a smile on his face in response.
Dogs Love Treats for More Than Taste
There are plenty of treats to choose from when we want to reward our pups. Naturally our pooches love the taste, but those savory little snacks represent more than just a tasty tidbit.
Treats are often used as rewards for training, so it's a form of positive reinforcement. Our dogs always want to please us, where getting a treat tells your pooch they've done something good and builds their also mix things up from their daily diet. Everyone likes variety, and these yummy snacks give our dogs a change of pace from their everyday breakfast and dinner.
Since treats are often given for something special or recognizing an achievement, our fur babies associate these morsels with fun and good times.
Benny will probably continue this daily "ritual" with his neighbor indefinitely.
