Dog Has Priceless Reaction When Told To Leave Grandparents House: ‘Spoiled’

The moment a dog realized his getaway at his grandparents’ house ended went viral on TikTok, leaving viewers in stitches.

Like children, dogs view their grandparents’ house as a place to escape the rules. They receive endless treats, cuddles and couch time. Often, when the getaway ends, parents are met with resistance and barks, begging them to stay a bit longer. Owner Abby Treece, however, received the silent treatment.

In her July 7 TikTok video, posted to her account @ybbatreece, she arrived at her in-laws’ house to pick up her dog, Teddy. The home sits on a California beach, a special treat for the dog who is obsessed with water. Treece started calling for Teddy as she walked onto the deck. Unsurprisingly, she found him right at the water’s edge.

Instead of being excited to see his owner, Teddy only stared at Treece as if she had interrupted his playtime. The muscles around his eyes darted inward, and a frown overtook his face. Anger radiated from his body. He wouldn’t budge. He had no plans on leaving anytime soon.

The caption reads: “Spoiled boy doesn’t want to leave the water.”

One would think this was Teddy’s first time getting to play in the water, but Treece told Newsweek via TikTok that he gets plenty of water time, although it is limited because of the mess that usually follows.

“…He’s a big boy, so he gets the house pretty messy when he gets in and rolls around in sand after,” she said.

Begging and pleading with Teddy never works. So instead, they pretend they’re going home without him.

“We just eventually tell him, ‘OK, bye Teddy, we’re leaving!’ Then he sprints in,” she said.

‘Fun Stealer’

Within a week of posting, the TikTok video reached more than 1.2 million views and 438,100 likes. People flooded the comment section with what Teddy was likely thinking.

One person said: “I’m not going home with you. This is paradise.”

A second user wrote: “Teddy, ‘Oh great! The fun stealer is here to take me back to be miserable.'”

“He is NOT happy to see you!” commented a viewer, while another added: “That’s a grown man, enjoying his vacation.”
