There’s something undeniably special about the bond between a dog and their human. For Cara O’Neal and her quirky, lovable dog named Dutch, that bond is filled with adventure, shared laughs, and hilarious training sessions. The duo has taken social media by storm, showcasing not only Dutch’s unique personality but also the expressive and sometimes sassy side of canine behavior.
Cara is an outdoorsy, vibrant individual who enjoys spending time training and playing with Dutch in creative ways. Dutch, a mixed-breed pup with a heart of gold and a nose for treats, is up for just about anything—especially if there’s a reward involved.
Who is Dutch? He may be a mixed bag in looks, but his personality shines through. Dutch is primarily Pug but also has genes from Chow Chow, Pekingese, Boxer, Beagle, and, amusingly, something known as “Supermutt.” Despite his diverse lineage, he’s focused, eager to please, and, like many canines, incredibly food-driven.
In a recent playful training session, Cara gave Dutch a simple task—perform the “shake paw” trick repeatedly. At first, Dutch was all in:
- First Shake: Perfect form, eager paw, lots of eye contact
- Second and Third: Still enthusiastically executed
But by the fourth shake, Dutch halted slightly. With a carefully tilted head and a long look directed straight at Cara, you could almost see the question in his eyes: “Where’s my treat?”
His dedication was still intact, but by shake number five, Dutch began to slow down. His paw raised with hesitation, his gaze narrowing. And what came next has the internet in stitches—the side-eye of all side-eyes. Dutch delivered a spectacular, sarcastic glance that embodied his inner protest.
By the sixth time, Dutch had clearly had enough. He paused, stood up, gave his mom a stare packed with attitude, and begrudgingly offered one final paw. But when Cara asked for the trick a seventh time, Dutch made a decision: no treat, no trick. His paws stayed put. Instead, he turned his head dramatically, rolled his eyes, and strutted out of frame with comedic precision. It was a brilliant moment of canine defiance that struck a chord with dog lovers everywhere.
Moment captured, lesson learned: Dogs, even the most obedient, understand fairness. The look Dutch gave didn’t just communicate frustration—it conveyed intellect, timing, and a flair for the dramatic.
And yes, don’t worry—Dutch wasn’t robbed of his reward. Although Cara waited two whole days before delivering the treats, Dutch’s response afterward was priceless. He strutted around with undeniable smugness, having firmly made his point about what happens when treats aren’t promptly earned.
In the end, this humorous interaction reveals how dogs aren’t just command-following companions—they’re communicative, expressive, and sometimes downright cheeky. Dutch, with his expressive eyes and sassy body language, reminded everyone that training needs to be fair… and include snacks.
