A pup has a hilarious tactic to get its owner up and out of bed. The canine’s method of getting what it wants is also a little violent but is likely 100 percent effective. Watch the short but hilarious video to see and hear what the animal does to help give its owner that little push out of bed.

Animals are special, unique and often adorable creatures. They make for wonderful friends and companions. Those cute, furry, four-legged critters are some of the most loving, loyal and dependable beings you’ll encounter on Earth. Every pet owner will, without a doubt, wholeheartedly agree with all the above statements.

However, animals are also reasonably intelligent, much more than they are often given credit for. Dogs and cats can and do pick up on our habits and routines, learning what we are likely to do and when. Additionally, those four-legged creatures figure out ways to get what they want, especially if it means disrupting our routines and habits to get it.

In a clip posted on social media, a woman shows the hilarious and somewhat violent way her canine chooses to wake her up. Thankfully, in the clip, the woman is already awake and not in a dead sleep when the animal does its thing.

The woman is lying in bed as her black lab climbs into her bed behind her. But the animal does not arrive empty-handed. Held securely in its mouth, the dog carries what is most likely its food bowl. Once the dog has made its way into the woman’s bed, the dog throws its head back and then, as it comes forward, releases the bowl, letting it hit her in the head.

The animal wants her to get up out of bed and likely wants to be fed. The message was received loudly and clearly; you would not have to tell or hit me twice.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
