Sweet Velcro Dog Refuses to Let His Favorite Person Work Alone

"The clip opens with the dog sitting beside his mom on the couch while she works on her laptop. It's clear that the pup is deeply inconvenienced by his mom's working situation. Text above his head reads "Worst day ever," perfectly capturing the dramatic tone of what's to come. Within seconds, he side-eyes her to make sure she's paying attention, then begins softly whining, as if to say he's been patient long enough."

"Things escalate quickly! He inches closer. He flops. He squeezes himself directly under the laptop, prompting the introduction of what may be the internet's new favorite term, "labradesk." At one point, his mom explains that she needs to work, and the response is immediate and unwavering. On screen, the word "Nope" appears as the dog settles in, fully convinced he's being extremely helpful."

"Throughout the video, we see what can only be described as a master of persistence. The dog slumps dramatically against her side ("helpful shnootle shlump," as he calls it), briefly rests his head on her lap, then decides that still isn't close enough. He flops across the couch, stretches himself out with confidence, and plants himself exactly where he wants to be, tail waggi"
