Boxer Bullies Grandpa Out Of His Couch Spot in His Own Home-and She Has Zero Regrets
Everyone knows that dogs are adorable-even dogs! So many pups are aware of how cute they are, and they have no qualms about using it to their advantage. Luckily, their families usually don't mind much, either.
The keyword here is usually! There isn't much a pup parent wouldn't do for their dogs, but one cute Boxer knows precisely how to use her charm to manipulate Grandpa into giving up his spot on the couch... in his own home! With her relentless begging, though, Poppy's sweet pleas border on bullying.

Poor Grandpa! He tried his hardest to resist the begging dog, but he was no match for Poppy's power of cuteness. Clearly, what this dog wants, she always gets, because she wasn't about to take no for an answer.
"The way she's so angry she can't even look at him," has commenters like @hollyxcamp laughing out loud. Dogs express their feelings in the sweetest and silliest ways, but pet parents can read their fur babies like the back of their hands. Still, it doesn't take a genius to see that Poppy is no happy dog.

I can't be the only one who thought Grandpa's stressed-out face was downright hilarious. This clearly isn't the first time this has happened, but he looked so worried about what to do! Poppy, on the other hand, knew exactly what should be done, and she wasn't about to give up until he gave up her favorite spot on the couch.
Viewers couldn't help but notice a striking similarity between this sassy dog and fictional TV genius Sheldon Cooper. They both have their favorite spots to sit in, and the whole world stops spinning until they can have their spot!
A Boxer's Famous Face
Anyone who's had the pleasure of raising a Boxer knows just how spoiled and sassy these dogs can be, but the most iconic thing about this breed is the famous Boxer face. Who can resist those jowls? Their precious wrinkles and huge, loving eyes could put anyone under their spell, but it's also important to remember that Boxers face many health concerns because of how they look.
Boxers are brachycephalic dogs, which means their short, 'smushed-in' snouts and broad faces can make it difficult to breathe. Without a fully open airway, Boxers have a hard time tolerating heat, cold, or intense exercise. Healthy breeding can eliminate many health concerns, but it's always important to be mindful and attentive with these delicate dogs.
As Poppy would say, that means giving up your favorite spot on the couch! Her Grandpa may disagree, but clearly, what this girl wants-she gets!
