Polite dog too shy to ask for a spoonful of yoghurt

• Powerful pooch: This dog can legit hypnotise people
• Cat reaction: Kitten loses its damn mind over new climbing tree

This polite dog is the most relatable person on the internet today.

Yeah, we’ve just unofficially granted this dog personhood, because clearly it understands the struggles of humanity all too well, as you can see from this video.

The title says it all: This dog wants some yogurt but it's too shy to ask for it.

Uploaded by Divanerev just yesterday, the clip has already notched up more than 110,000 views.

For a full minute, the dog looks longingly at the yoghurt being shovelled down the throat of another, but looks away when the potential for eye contact arises so it doesn't look too desperate.

We totally understand.

We've all been in a similar situation, hoping that someone will offer us food without us having to ask for it.

Everyone can relate to that.

The respectful woofer has won over the internet, capturing the imagination of YouTubers.

"Why no happy ending when this poor, nice, elegant, modest, very kind dog eat this f--king jogurt, huh? You are monster," FACEMAN FROM OUTER SPACE said on YouTube, obviously feeling very emotional about the issue.

And FACEMAN FROM OUTER SPACE wasn't as alone as their username would suggest.

The sentiments were repeated throughout the comments thread, leading to some weird exchanges between strangers.

"Give the doggo some damn yogurt," Azuraion says.

"No, dairy is among the things dogs actually should not eat. Give him a dog appropriate treat that's good for him," Sheeple Herder chimes in.

"My dog eats Yogurt and he'd kick your dog's ass," G. G. says.

As much as we assume G. G. is exaggerating here, you can actually give dogs dairy.

 According to an article titled 10 People Foods for Dogs published by the highly-reputable Modern Dog Magazine, it's a good source of calcium and protein.

"If your pooch is pudgy, make sure that you pick fat-free yogurt but not one that contains fat substitutes," we're advised.

But don't get all dairy deranged, Doggy Bakery advises.

"Regular yogurt is the best way to ensure that your dog reaps the full benefits to be had," we're told.

"Yogurt covered pretzels don’t count."

So that settles it, old mate should have offered a spoonful.
