Mom Distracts Her Dog During a Delivery, and It's Too Relatable

We've all been there, the dreaded moment when you hear the delivery person slam their door. The panic sets in, and suddenly, you realize you only have a few moments until the chaos ensues. The next seconds are vital, and you mentally and physically prepare for the drama that's about to happen. This is the same for every pet parent who has had to go to great lengths to protect the delivery person (and their own embarrassment) from the drama and barking of their dogs.

Although some have specific commands and training to keep their dogs from going too crazy when the doorbell rings, Dyce the Rottweiler's mom has one very unique and entertaining way to keep her pup thoroughly distracted the entire time. We aren't sure whether Dyce is actually distracted or just very confused by his mother's actions-but, hey, at least it works, and that's what counts.

There's nothing like a good song and dance to distract your dog from things you definitely don't want them to see. At least that's what Dyce's mom turns to when shielding her adorable Rottweiler from catching a glimpse of the delivery man.

While just another one of their funny skits, we don't doubt that this is based on a true story. Who hasn't had to go to great lengths to keep their pets at bay? Although we personally appreciated Dyce's mom's performance, we can't help but wonder what the deliveryman and Dyce truly think of it.

However, if it makes Dyce's human feel better, it's not just her pup that has it out for the delivery man. "Rotts are everyone's friend. Besides mail carriers and delivery drivers. They are enemy number 1. Down to the genetic level. Every Rott my family ever had would break a door down to let them know," commented one user.

Others couldn't help but wonder what Dyce thinks of all of this. "Dog be like: uhmmmm.... Mom? are you alright?" added one viewer. Another user commented, "Dyce: This family has gone mad."

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what technique, song, or dance you use, so long as it works, right? Even if it costs us our egos.
