Whoever said that dogs aren’t smart animals needs to watch this video immediately!

A dog named Poppy showed the world how clever she was in a TikTok video that went viral in a big way.

The dog went to the front door to let the folks in the room know that she needed to go outside to go to the bathroom.

Her owner then got up and walked to the door to let Poppy out.

Poppy then suddenly walked away from the front door and stole her owner’s seat on the couch.

The video’s text overlay reads, “POV: The dog pretends she needs a wee so she can steal my mum’s warm spot on the sofa.”

The caption reads, “Just another day of being a boxer owner.”
