This dog has a different approach (Video)

Dogs keep their owners to a regular schedule, letting them know when it’s time for dinner, when it’s time to play and especially when it’s time to wake up in the morning. Lexi the Samoyed wakes her dad up very gently. According to the caption on her family’s video, Lexi wants to go for a walk. And she’s not too pleased that dad isn’t even awake yet.

Clearly, the answer is to wake him up, but she wants to be gentle about it. Unlike other dogs who might pounce on the bed and insist loudly, Lexi quietly persists… Sitting next to him and staring isn’t working, so she decides to switch to another tactic – this one a bit more…involved. Normally, it’s a blissful feeling to wake up to see someone staring down at you lovingly like you are their whole world. But we’re not sure the owner felt that way about it.

While other dogs can be way more forceful and aggressive when it comes to waking up their pet parents, Lexi is as delicate as a flower. As he begins to stir but not fully awaken, she proceeds to shower him with encouraging kisses. When subtlety doesn’t work, sometimes you have to take more direct measures. Finally, in the grand finale, Lexi places her paw directly on dad’s face… tapping dad to get up. Try ignoring that! Watch the video, it’s a cute moment between Dad and “daughter.”
