People Are In Love With How This Little Dog Begs For Treats

May 3, 2017

People are falling in love with the bond between a 10-year-old golden retriever named Hank, and a 2-year-old mutt named Bella.

Bella is much smaller than Hank — but she discovered a way to make up for it.

Bella figured out how to climb on Hank all by herself around a year ago, when she realized she needed a boost to get on the couch.

From there, it kind of escalated.

"I heard Hank walking around the living room, and I looked up, and Bella was just laying on him going from room to room," said Adriana Burkhart, the dogs' owner.

Adriana says the trick especially comes in handy when begging for food.

"Whenever we're making food, she uses Hank to get a better vantage point so she can be closer to the counter," she told Buzzfeed. "She's got a pretty good puppy dog eye, so they both end up getting treats whenever that happens."

Hank, who Burkhart said "isn't the brightest crayon in the box," doesn't seem to mind carrying Bella around.

"Honestly, most of the time, Hank doesn't even seem to notice," Adriana said. "I'm pretty sure that he likes it, because when she jumps down he'll follow her around."
