While dogs are warm, kind, and cuddly, they can be mischievous at times. Some pooches steal food while others chew on shoes. But there are occasions when their naughtiness is subtle yet funny – just like what you will see in this story.
A large Great Dane mix named Fergus apparently has a habit of stealing his dad’s cozy chair as soon as he notices that it is vacant. But once he is caught in the act, the gentle giant tries to defend his new territory.
Fergus the chair stealer
In a video shared on TikTok by an account named @bigdogmom, you could see Fergus already sitting on the comfy chair of his dad. The on-screen caption said that the dog was busted.
A few seconds later, his fur dad rounded the corner only to see that the big dog had already occupied his spot. He reminded Fergus that his phone was right on the chair, so the dog must know that his dad sat there.
Fergus then pawed the air toward his fur dad. With a wagging tail, it seemed that he was convincing his human that he was the new owner of the chair.
In the end, Fergus’ dad gave up and just walked over the other couch where he was welcomed by the family’s other dogs.
The TikTok can’t get enough of his mischief
Fergus’ clip appealed to a lot of pet lovers on TikTok. Currently, the video has more than 720K views, over 80K likes, 6K shares, and 2K comments.
One commenter funnily referred to Fergus as a miniature horse. Another said that the dog’s pawing motions were his attempt to drive away his dad because he couldn’t see the TV. A third netizen, on the other hand, advised the owner to get Fergus his own chair. Lastly, someone said that her Great Dane had the same habit of stealing comfy spots.
