In most homes, everybody has a spot on the couch that they claim for themselves. At Lucy the Great Dane’s house, she also has a spot on the couch, and she doesn’t like to share it with anybody.
Kristin, Lucy’s mom, was visiting with her dad, and unbeknownst to him, he sat down in Lucy’s spot. The dog doesn’t beat around the bush when she decides to reclaim her seat, and instead of politely trying to nudge her grandpa out of the way, she sits right on top of him!
We laughed when Kristin joked in the caption, “My dad learned the hard way that this is Lucy’s spot and she doesn’t share LOL!”

Hilarious Reactions to Lucy Reclaiming Her Spot on the Couch
Viewers were cracking up over Lucy’s direct way of telling grandpa to get out of her couch spot. We had to do a double-take when @Jessica Owens pointed out, “Lmao I was so focused on him I didn’t even see the other dog!” We didn’t notice either!
@Charlene Daniels433 joked, “Oh, I’m sorry, were you sitting there?” She then added, “I love the fact that there is no question in her mind that that is where she is going to sit LOL!”
Another commenter said, “Poor grandpa has no clout in that house. LOL!” Kristin replied, “Lucy always wins!”
“Once they get behind you, it’s over. They’ll just push you off with their back legs anyway, so getting up is the best thing to do,” said @Hoooch, and they weren’t kidding!
It’s always funny when our dogs claim their spot…or steal ours. Wag! reminds us that dogs do this for several reasons. “There is not just one reason as to why dogs steal their owner’s spots. Although there are some negative reasons why, such as dominance, and disrespect, there are also positive reasons, such as showing loyalty and love.”
Most pawrents don’t mind sharing, but we also don’t want our dogs to be rude when we have guests over!
