Pup Gets Confused When She Removes The Paw From His Mouth

When it comes to soothing ourselves, nothing does it better than sticking a thumb in our mouths and casually sucking on it. It is a technique we have developed while still in the womb and we carry on doing it for quite some time after we come into this world. But to think that our canine companions do the same is just too much to bear. Don’t believe us? Just check out this adorable pup!

A German Shepherd puppy has been captured sucking not just his dewclaw, but his entire paw! Lounging on his back in his owner’s living room, the pups seems to be sleeping, with his eyes half closed and his toothy grin flashing for the camera. His owner is having a field day, watching her little dog behave like the toddler that he is! She can barely control her laughter, which wakes the puppy up from his sweet snooze.

“Hi!” says the human to the confused little doggy, but he is not convinced in her harmless greeting. When she removes the paw from his mouth, however, it becomes evident that the dog knew what he was doing. His muzzle remains hilariously ajar, following the paw with his eyes. Hey, I was chewing on that!

This is not the only pup we’ve seen soothing itself asleep with this infantile behavior. Belle does it too, although she doesn’t suck on her dewclaw either. She sucks her entire hindpaw! She lies on her owner’s bed, mouth ajar and her back foot is lodged in her mouth. What is that? For what it’s worth, she could have just fallen asleep mid-struggle with her mischievous foot and they both got tired so they decided to take a little nap. No harm, no foul.
