Jealous Dog “Asks” Dad To Put The Cat Down In The Most Adorably Grumbly Way
One jealous dog has been learning to communicate his feelings toward the family cat, and one of his complaints was too funny! This pooch got a little upset when Dad was holding the feline in his lap, so mom Karly Johnson decided to help her four-legged friend express himself. She told the pup to be direct and ask his other parent to stop cuddling the cat. Karly caught the most hilarious video of Link the dog “repeating” after her!

“Say, ‘I need you to put the cat down, please,'” the woman told the surly pooch. “Ask him nicely.”
Link’s parents cracked up when this dog actually voiced his jealous request for Dad to stop holding the other pet. Obviously, this pup couldn’t actually speak human, so his words came out as an adorable series of grumbles. Still, it was pretty clear what he wanted!
“Link gets jealous when his dad holds the cat,” Karly wrote in the caption of her video. “He’s learning to speak up for himself instead of barking.”
Commenters were pretty impressed with the way that this dog communicated his needs, even if he was being a bit jealous.

“He 100% asked nicely,” wrote one user.
Another added, “It was polite and assertive.”
Even Google chimed in, calling the animal’s grunts a “10/10 translation” of his mom’s words.
Link wouldn’t be the first dog to try reciting a human phrase. In fact, some pooches have actually gotten eerily close to the correct pronunciation! For example, this pet parent actually taught her pup to repeat the words, “I love you.”
Who knows? Perhaps someday Link will learn to say, “Dad, please put the cat down,” in perfect English. It still may not get him what he wants, but it’ll be incredibly impressive!
