Sandra is a rescue Lab mix that came into her forever home as a foster fail. The ninth foster dog for her mom, Hannah, Sandra became a foster fail with the immediate connection she shared with her new human. However, Sandra has an adorable but probably frustrating attitude toward her human. Sandra likes things done her way, and she isn’t open to negotiation. This is equal parts motivating and terrifying to everyone involved.
In her latest tirade, Sandra made it clear that she wanted to choose her toy from her overflowing toy bin. The problem is that her human is giving her sass back by reiterating to Sandra that she repeatedly wants the toy bin dumped, just so she can change her mind later. Well, this attitude didn’t sit well with “Sassy” Sandra, and she made sure to let her mom know.

Watch “Sassy” Sandra Give Her Mom a Piece of Her Mind
Unfortunately for Sandra’s human, Sandra doesn’t care if she’s working or not. Through her whines and stomps, it’s clear that Sandra just wanted Mom to get up and dump her toy bin so she could find herself a toy to play with. Despite her mom’s resistance, Sandra’s human eventually gave in and dumped the overflowing toy bin on the floor.

Even though her mom gave her plenty of options of toys to pick from, Sandra was busy pawing and poking her head through every toy in and out of the bin. At one point, the Lab mix had her mom take each toy out one by one to examine it in great detail. Even though her human had emptied the bin, Sandra couldn’t find exactly what she wanted. (Honestly, relatable.)
Things turned sour when Sandra’s human let her know they had to clean up the mess they had made. Despite Sandra’s protests, her human cleaned up the mess and put everything back into the bin, producing sassy stomps from Sandra. At the end, Sandra’s human sent out a plea for help from her Lab mix. (Also, relatable.)
In the comments, users tried their best to give their suggestions and advice to Sandra’s human. “She wants them all and none at all, mom!” stated one commenter. Another viewer came in with a very relatable analogy, “The doggie equivalent of us having a closet full of clothes…but nothing to wear.” With these kinds of analogies, we can’t deny that we are totally on Sandra’s side.
