You haven’t seen pure joy until you whisper your dog’s favorite word like it’s a secret mission.
I crept up to Manchas while he was napping—dreaming about chasing squirrels or being dramatic, who knows—and leaned in close.
Then I whispered it:
“Chicken…” 🐔
His ears TWITCHED.
Eyes opened in 0.2 seconds.
Neck snapped around like, “You said WHAT?!”
The second time I said it, he was already halfway to the kitchen. I’ve never seen a faster mood change. He went from cozy blanket burrito to full-on zoomies.
It’s like dogs have a built-in keyword detector that overrides every thought in their tiny, furry heads.
Some dogs react to “walk,” “treat,” or “ball.”
Manchas? It’s “chicken,” “grandma,” and weirdly… “cheese.”
So naturally, I whispered all three. One after another. His face? Priceless.
Eyes wide. Tail wagging. A dramatic head tilt that screamed:
“Say it again. I dare you.”
Try this at home—you’ll thank me.
