The dog, Colby, looks as if he's trying to relax when you see his mom's hand reach out to pet him. He doesn't break eye contact with his human, Morgyn Seigfried, as he gently pushes her hand away with his back foot. She tries several times, and each time Colby has the same response.
"Let's not make this more embarrassing than it has to be," one commenter wrote.
"He said pet me...WITH YOUR EYES," another person said.
While some were imagining what the dog was saying internally, others just found it hilarious, especially because he uses his hind leg to reject the affection.
"Such a boss move to use the back leg and not the front paw," someone wrote, complete with a crying laughing emoji.
"The fact that he used his rear leg makes the exchange even better," another commenter said.
Colby is clearly over Seigfried's need to touch him, as you can see for yourself below:
