Newfoundland Dog Warms The Hearts Of Many By Politely Ignoring Mom’s Requests

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.

Homer's mom, aware that lifting her massive canine friend is no easy task, pleads, "Oh, come on, you can do it. I can't lift you. You're too big. You gotta get down."

At this point, it's clear that Homer understands the balance between his curiosity and his mom's wishes. He looks back at her, then outside, then back at her again before finally deciding to heed her call. 

The moment Homer finally relents and gets down from the window, his mom showers him with praises, saying, "There you go, good boy."

People who watched this adorable video couldn't help but share their thoughts. One person in the comments aptly summarized Homer's behavior by saying, "He's busy, momma."

Others chimed in, stating, "He is absolutely supposed to be up there," and "He says I'm looking for squirrels; leave me alone, Mom."

A humorous comment noted, "Ma’am. Homer has a job to do."

According to the American Kennel Club, Newfoundland dogs are known for being "devoted, sweet, [and] patient." Homer embodies these qualities perfectly. His patient and polite demeanor is a testament to the gentle nature of this beloved breed.

Homer the polite Newfoundland charmed the internet with his endearing refusal to immediately obey his mom's requests. His story proves that dogs have the ability to make us smile even when they're politely ignoring us.
