Dog begs owner to be put to bed: What happens next brings tears of laughter
Oregon - "Do I have two different dogs?", user "LeDarius Tremayne Sm" might ask himself when watching this footage. The behavior of the four-legged friend from Oregon in the recently viral TikTok video is really more than strange.
At first, it seems as if LeDarius has recorded a completely normal everyday situation with his dog "Pistachio":
In the clip, the four-legged friend can be seen wagging his tail in front of his owner. As if he were asking him for something very specific.
His master already seems to know the game and willingly runs after his dog when he finally starts moving excitedly and runs purposefully into another room.
There, without hesitation and of his own free will, he disappears into a mesh box where he always spends the night.
But in that second, the obviously sleepy dog completely transforms!
Instead of snuggling up in his blanket, Pistachio suddenly bares his teeth, growls, barks and lets his eyes bulge out frighteningly. As if stung by a tarantula, he even tries to push open the door of the cage that his master had just closed.
"He kept begging me to put him to bed and then he turns into a gremlin," explains his owner, shaking his head.
It is not clear from the video why the dog reacted so aggressively. Perhaps his strange way of saying "good night"? Who knows!
Dog video gets millions of clicks on TikTok
In any case, the dog with the "two faces" went viral on TikTok. The miraculous transformation has already been clicked on more than seven million times.
While some are familiar with the strange behavior from their own dogs, others want to know the reason for it: "He's guarding his bed," suspects one user.
According to Newsweek, studies actually suggest that guarding objects can also turn into aggression in some dogs.
