There are some words that all dogs love to hear, like treats, dog park, and dinner. But there are also other words that have them running for cover, as you’ll see in this video, and it’s cracking everybody up!

Mom pretended to be on a phone call, saying all of her foster dog, Hippo’s, favorite words. His excitement continues to build as he hears each word, but as soon as she says his least favorite word, he hightails it out of there and tries to hide to avoid the dreaded “walkies!”

We laughed when Hippo’s mom said, “Laziest, laziest!” at the end of the video. Most dogs love walks, but Hippo would rather lounge in the house like a true couch potato!
