An enterprising pup has devised an ingenious, new coronavirus pandemic skill during lockdown — convincing her owner to serve her dinner several hours early. A thread showcasing her adorable bargaining tactics has amassed more than 65,000 likes on Twitter.
"During quarantine, my dog has used a combination of intense sitting and adorable staring to bargain her dinner time down from 5 to 330," tweeted Tommy Vietor. "It’s now 2:50…hold the line, Tommy. Hold the line."

Begging for her supper is not the pup’s only quarantine talent. He explained in a subsequent post that she’s also "learned that inching over and lying down on my head at around 530am is a good way to get breakfast early."
