We all have those moments when we'd rather procrastinate or simply ignore a request we're not keen on fulfilling. Well, it turns out that our canine companions can be just as adept at politely ignoring us when they want to.
In a viral TikTok video, Homer the Newfoundland, a gentle giant of a dog, demonstrated the fine art of politely ignoring his mom's requests.
Let's dive into the charming world of Homer and his delightful antics.
Homer Politely Tries To Ignore His Mom's Queries
In a 33-second video, Homer can be seen perched on the edge of a bed, gazing out of a window.
His mom, aware that Homer might be enjoying the view a bit too much, says, “Is your friend walking by?” Then she playfully asks him, "Are you supposed to be up there?" Homer, with his unwavering focus on the outside world, politely tries to ignore his mom's queries. He's in no hurry to heed her requests.

As any dog owner knows, convincing a pet to do something they're not particularly inclined to do can be a charming tug-of-war.
“Homer,” his mom lovingly repeats his name and encourages him to get down, she says, "Are you supposed to be in the window? Think you need to get down now. Come on."
However, he's not easily swayed.
He briefly lowers his front paws from the window but swiftly returns to his favorite spot, seemingly undeterred by his mom's coaxing.
