My dogs don’t really watch television<\/a> unless animals are involved. If a fellow canine cutie or other four-legged fur baby hits the screen, then they’re all in and you better not block their view of the set. It’s like they’re watching their own version of the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Monty the Mini Australian Shepherd<\/a> obviously has his own favorite viewing options and had a major bone to pick with his dad when the TV was turned off in the middle of his favorite sporting event.<\/p>\n In the TikTok from @sethandsami, Monty was chilling on the couch watching the televised dog agility trials. Suddenly, the Mini Aussie began curling his lips into an angry growl, obviously enraged about something.<\/p>\n The camera panned over to the TV, which was no longer on. Monty’s mom figured out the cause for his frustration.<\/p>\n “Did Dad turn your sports off?” she gently asked Monty, yet couldn’t help giggling over the precious pooch’s epic glare.<\/p>\n “I’m putting it back on,” Monty’s dad said from the other room, yet clearly he wasn’t moving fast enough in the fur baby’s opinion.<\/p>\n Monty continued baring his teeth and gave his Dad a death stare, extremely upset that he was missing his program. The pup angrily yawned at one point, exhausted by the unjust situation. He was probably imagining all the amazing moves he was missing during this unapproved intermission.<\/p>\n “Hold on, it’s a commercial,” his dad reassured Monty as he put the TV back on, then noted the canine’s cantankerous expression. “What’s that face?” he asked as Monty’s mom laughed.<\/p>\n Monty was still very miffed when the video ended, so no telling how long he stayed angry at his dad.<\/p>\n While you won’t find every dog scanning different channels and streaming services for a favorite show, some canines focus on the television if something specific catches their eye.<\/p>\n Nature programs<\/a> and animal shows are of particular interest since the sights and sounds of other fur babies can stimulate their instincts and curiosity. Movement on the screen catches their attention and stirs their predatory nature to chase objects.<\/p>\n Related: Golden Retriever Watches National Dog Show and Falls for Female Fur Baby<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Monty may not have gotten as upset if a TV drama or comedy was turned off, but his dad knows now to never touch the TV when the pup’s “sports” are on.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Apr 30, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
