Dog Gives Her Dad the Cutest Stare Down for Attention
Rebel the Staffy Whippet is a dog with plenty of patience and persistence — and he combines the two in the most adorably hilarious way to ask for attention. His family shared a funny video of him staring down his dad to do just that. They captioned it: “‘Daaaaaaaaad pay attention to me !!!’ The staring contest we didn’t ask for but get on a daily basis.”
As Rebel gazes up at his dad, he creeps closer and closer, maintaining eye contact the entire time until Dad can’t help but smile and give in with some pets.

Rebel pulls out the stare on Mom too — especially when he wants to play.

Dog lovers are charmed by Rebel’s persuasive technique. One person wrote, “Those eyes pierce my soul,” observed one viewer. “See right through into the depth haha,” Rebel’s family responded.
“‘No pressure, I’ll wait,’” joked another viewer. “He would out wait us any day! So much patience,” Rebel’s family replied.
When it comes to winning attention, Rebel proves that persistence (and puppy eyes) pay off.
