Never leave Walter, the French Bulldog, out of a conversation.

Ask any human who has a French Bulldog in the family and they’ll likely say their Frenchie adores attention. Often called “Velcro dogs,” French Bulldogs crave companionship and can even develop separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time.

Walter Geoffrey, a social media–savvy Frenchie, reminded his human that a conversation isn’t complete without his input in a recent video shared to Instagram. In the hilarious video, Walter can be seen sitting in the driver’s seat of his human mom’s car (window rolled down, of course) while Mom has a conversation outside the car. Wanting to make sure he’s not left out of the parking lot chat, Walter starts wailing to get her attention.

Walter’s human tries to shush the chatty pup, but he’s not interested in being quiet. Walter wants in on the conversation, and he’ll stop at nothing until he gets to chime in.

“All I heard was I lloooooove you,” commented one of Walter’s adoring fans. Another added, “I love his tantrums and he’s so cute.”

French Bulldogs Are Smart and Stubborn

It’s easy to assume Walter’s a needy pooch who has to be the center of attention (which may also be true), but French Bulldogs are nothing if not smart. These intelligent canines boast a high social intelligence and are keen problem solvers. Known to be quick learners who are easily trained, Walter’s conversation skills might be more attributed to his intelligence in figuring out how to get his human’s attention than just his need to be the center of her world.

Walter’s video is also a perfect example of another defining characteristic of French Bulldogs: stubbornness. Despite Mom’s commands, Walter digs in and keeps his moans going. He may be easy to train, but that doesn’t mean he listens. Like most French Bulldogs, Walter’s got a mind of his own. But with a face (and moan) as cute as his, it’s tough to say no to a Frenchie.
