Although she’s almost 12 years old, this dog, named Dakota, is still puppy-like in most of her days. She loves naps and meeting new people and is quite joyous all the time.
And, it’s not hard to see that her favourite thing of all is food. Her hooman mom, Cheryl Feingold, says she acts innocent, but she’s an ‘evil genius’ when it comes to food.
One time, when the family installed a new dog door, they wanted to teach Dakota to use it. So, they used treats to do it.
At first, she was scared of it, but once she saw the treats, she turned into a pro dog and didn’t look back.
When she learned to use the dog door, she soon realized she could use it to her advantage and ‘trick’ her hoomans into giving her extra treats.
Dog Comes Up with an Awesome Plan to Get more Treats
Whenever Dakota goes outside to potty, she gets rewarded with a treat.
One day, she had a plan. She decided to go through the dog door and sit outside it for a bit and then come back in as if she went to potty. She asked for a treat and got it.
However, she didn’t consider that since the dog door is clear, her mom can see outside of it, realizing she’s not using the bathroom at all. Feingold explains that at first, she believed Dakota; however, she soon questioned how she’s coming back in that fast.
So, she watched and noticed her ‘plan’. It made her laugh as it reminded her of a kid who thinks you can’t see what they’re doing.
And, Dakota is always looking away like she did nothing wrong, making things even funnier.
I Keep Giving Her the Treats-I Can’t Resist Her Face
Despite ‘catching’ her ‘sneaky scheme’, Dakota seems to not care a bit. She still does this every single day because she’s all in for the treats. And, she seems to be very proud of the plan.
Feingold says that despite not going to potty outside, she gives Dakota her treat because it’s so difficult to tell no to her lovely face. She says Dakota is so adorable and she immediately gives in.
