Watch this Border Collie come up with the funniest revenge ever after being ignored by owner

Dogs can live without anything, except for love and care. In exchange for their endless energy, unconditional love and unwavering loyalty, all that the furry companions crave is just a little attention from their owners. Likewise, when Lucy Jayne's (@lucyjayne94 on TikTok) dog, Reily, found her not giving him undivided attention, the canine devised a clever solution that left viewers in splits. The now-viral TikTok video has received an overwhelming response on social media, surpassing 400,000 viewers online.

Riley was waiting at the car service center for vehicle inspection with Jayne when she stopped petting her adorable border collie only for a few seconds. However, Reily could not bear being ignored by his owner and decided to take revenge. As captured in the clip, Reily went to a stranger in the waiting room and was seen glaring at Jayne. It was as if the witty dog was telling her that he could find another family in the blink of an eye if she didn’t give him proper attention. "Didn't pay him attention for 20 seconds, so he went over to someone else and stared at me," read the overlay text as the hilarious banter unfolded on the screen. Interestingly, while responding to comments, Jayne reflected more on how Reily approached the stranger man and literally pleaded for attention. 

She wrote, "He does this every time I use the toilet, backs his butt for a scratch then looks back at me as if to say 'While you are sitting here, you may as well give me a scratch.'" Meanwhile, reacting to the video, @emmaburnham5 commented, "What an angel! I had someone’s massive golden retriever adopt me at the vets and honestly, it was the best day of my life." Similarly, @hanhan3768 commented, "When I was in the psych ward, the dog of one patient did laps to get pet by everyone when we were waiting to talk to the nurse." @jinxedsky, another dog owner commented, "My border collie does this all the time. She goes to everyone else but me but then stares at me the whole time." @ellenbayru wrote, "My dog does that sometimes. If I am not giving her attention she goes to my mom and just stares at me, it’s like she’s telling on me."

@katy_leigh_commented, "My Boston terrier ignores me completely around other people by sitting on anyone else’s lap who isn’t me." On the other hand, @looarah commented, "Maybe take Beyonce off the playlist. 'You must not know ‘bout me, I can have another you in a minute…don’t u ever get to thinking you’re irreplaceable.'" @ava.tee7 commented, "Someone's aussie did that to me when I was at the dog park. I was the only one giving butt scratches." In the meantime, while speaking with Newsweek, Jayne shared that Reily often goes to people looking for treats. She said, "He always goes over to people when we are out on a walk. He goes to see if they have any treats in his pocket!" This time, too, the receptionist at the car service center rewarded Reily with treats, which Jayne shared with the outlet.
