THE KITCHEN Just because dogs are considered "man's best friend" doesn't mean they aren't shameless beggars. Whether you're eating food or it's just sitting on the table, dogs will sneak and scoot and look up at you with big round eyes that are harder to resist than a toddler exhibiting the same behavior.

In fact, dogs are so good at using their eyes to beg that we use the phrase "puppy dog eyes" to apply to any creature who is trying to get something they want. But this dog, this cheeky little ball of adorableness, has taken his begging to a whole new level after he gets a whiff of some freshly baked cookies on the counter. I won't fully spoil the surprise, but I will say this dog had mad hops. It's well worth 12 seconds of your time. Despite the dog's athletic endeaveors, I'm sure he didn't get a cookie treat as it's always ill-advised to give a dog chocolate. But I'm currently living with the hope that the pup got double doggy treats for being hilarious.
