A pet parent tending to a sick dog learned the hard way that she must have eyes in the back of her head in a multi-animal household.
TikTok user @yama_rama_lama’s daughter began frosting a cake when she started hearing the dog getting sick. She ran outside with the tube of frosting in her hand to check on her dog, leaving the cake unattended. That’s when the family’s black Labrador seized his opportunity.
The August 11 TikTok video, which reached over 327,200 views as of Friday, shows the dog making sure the coast was clear before hopping his front paws onto the counter, right next to the prize. His eyes couldn’t believe this treat had been left alone. Not wanting to waste another second, he dove in, slobbering up as much as he could.
Newsweek reached out to @yama_rama_lama via TikTok for comment.
Classic move, one dog goes outside to barf, the other sneaks cake. #dogsoftiktok #labrador #cake #baddog
Satisfied after only a few bites, he stopped and got off the counter. This left TikTok viewers applauding him for his thoughtfulness in saving cake for the rest of the family.
“He only took a small bite. What a gentleman,” a commenter said, while a second person pointed out, “The face he stopped himself and left is huge. Good for him.”
A third person wrote: “His face the whole time is like, ‘I know this is wrong but this smells SOOOOO GOOD so I must.’”
However, the owner assured everyone the dog did not stop because he knew when he reached his treat limit. He only stopped because someone started walking toward him. And if not, the icing evidence on his face and video proof would’ve been what did him in.
She added cake to the “long list of things he’s gotten in trouble” for eating without permission.
Other people suspected the two dogs worked together to set up the family, calling it “organized crime.” They joked that the sick dog only went outside to throw up to draw attention away from the other canine. Planned or not, it worked.
The whole family had been tricked, as no one thought for a moment what the Labrador might be getting into. From that point on, this pet parent needs to keep her head on a swivel.
