Both of my dogs shamelessly beg whenever anyone has a meal or snack. My Dachshund and my Pug mix will whine, bark, and paw at whoever dares to eat in their presence until they get their share. We’ve tried training them out of it, though we could have been more consistent. They never give up, even though most of the time, we don’t give in.
Bunny the Dachshund would probably fit right in at our house since she also gets demanding when it comes to sharing food.
In the TikTok from @shybunnydachshund, the precious pooch sat next to her mom and barked, clearly upset about something.
“My Mini Dachshund when I won’t share my Goodles with her,” the onscreen text read.
Apparently, her mom was eating Goodles macaroni and cheese, and Bunny felt she should get a portion. The pup persisted in her quest for her share and made it clear she wasn’t backing down.
Bunny dug at her mom’s blanket, then stopped and gave her a hard stare. More barking ensued when the Doxie’s demands weren’t met, and she even waved her paws in the air to express her mounting frustration.
The canine cutie pulled out all the stops with her little tantrum and held an expression of disbelief when her mom didn’t cave. Followers felt that Bunny deserved a bowl.
“She’s so cute… I would fold immediately and share,” one admitted.
“So why didn’t you give her any Goodles?” another questioned.
“How can you deny her face?” a follower asked.
“She’s making very valid points, though,” someone noted.
“This would work way too easily on me,” a fan shared.
Dachshunds Are Notoriously Stubborn
Bunny’s refusal to back down may be genetic. Dachshunds are known for having a stubborn streak and prefer to have the last word.

These little dogs with big personalities were originally bred to be highly independent when hunting prey. Dachshunds tend to follow their own instincts and prefer being in charge, which is why many ignore their parents’ commands and can more challenging to train than other breeds. Still, Dachshunds are highly intelligent and can learn obedience with consistent training.
Yet when it comes to mac and cheese, Bunny may have a hard time taking no for an answer.
