Goldendoodle Getting The 'Last Laugh' After Securing His Treat Is Legit Hilarious

Some dogs are so cute and sweet that it's impossible to be annoyed with them, even when they break the rules. Milo the goldendoodle is one such charmingly naughty doggo. In a sweet TikTok video with "When you give him a treat for not barking but he has to get the last laugh 😆" written across it — which has been viewed more than 982,000 times — Milo happily eats the proffered treat. He then lets out a tiny noise, somewhere between a bark and a huff. The video's caption is fitting, reading "Then instantly looks at me to see if I noticed 🤣 I swear he gets funnier and funnier by the day!"

Viewers were entertained by Milo's cheekiness. "He said 'did that count??'" one netizen wrote, while another commented, "So I'm not the only one with an argumentative dog 😂." Several people suggested other names for Milo's sassy little sound: huffing, whisper barking, chicken barking, and using his indoor voice. 

Some viewers stated that Milo's little noise was a boof, not a bark, meaning that, technically, Milo didn't disobey his owner. "I'm his lawyer. That was a boof NOT a bark. Please continue with his treats. Thank you," one stated, and another joked, "Your honor, he's clearly boofing, not barking. This case can be dismissed."

The decibel level of a barking dog can reach up to 100 decibels or more, and a bark can convey different messages, everything from happiness to concern to anger. The key to deciphering a bark is to pay attention to body language cues, such as a joyfully wagging tail or a crouched stance with hackles raised. Whimpers and whines may indicate pain, fear, anxiety, or frustration, but they could also be a way of greeting or seeking attention from an owner. 

If you wonder why dogs howl, the wolf-like sound may reveal loneliness, or it could be a plea for help or attention. A grunt or rumble is often the sign of a relaxed and contented doggo, signaling happiness. Sighs can similarly show satisfaction, but can also convey disappointment. Growls are usually a clear signal of fear, anger, or pain, but a dog may also emit a lower and softer play growl when having fun. 

And then there's the boof. A boof is smaller and quieter than a bark but bigger than a mere exhalation of air. A dog might use this low-level alert to indicate curiosity or suspicion after noticing something unusual. "It's the wee boofs that get me," one viewer of the TikTok video shared. Another added, "Boofs are the best 🥰." Want to see another cute but naughty goldendoodle like Milo? Check out this "badly behaved" goldendoodle puppy who's so cute that she always gets a treat anyway.
