Dog Thinks 'Oops' Is A Cue Word For Him To Get Food Because He Starts Searching For Food Every Time He Hears It

Heinz is a very playful and loving dog. His favorites are taking naps, playing, and eating food.

“He's always been all about food, like most dogs," Heinz’s mom, Karyn Dietz, shared. "Thankfully he doesn't hover too badly when [we're] cooking, but often keeps a watchful and opportunistic eye on anyone eating, especially the kids.” 

Considering his love for food, he is always hovering around if someone is cooking in the kitchen in the hope of getting some scraps. Most of the time he is patrolling for food.

Heinz's mom, Dietz uttered the word "oops" one day and as soon as he heard them he started looking for food on the floor. That was the point when his mum connected the dots.

“I realized a few months ago that he is triggered to at least lookup or to come to check for food if I say ‘oops,’ ‘dammit’ or ‘shit,’” Dietz told. “He watches like a hawk when we eat popcorn.”

Heinz is a very intelligent and observant dog that is why he has picked up that when someone uses these words they must definitely have dropped a food item. He takes it upon himself to investigate and help to clear it up as well.

To preserve this action of Heinz, Dietz recorded the moment when the word 'oops' was uttered and he came running into the kitchen.

Look how Heinz comes in looking for food when he heard the word 'oops'

“I set him up for this video because what actually happened moments before was I legitimately said 'oops,' and he came bouldering down from upstairs,” Dietz shared.

These words are like magic for Heinz as they refer to the thing he loves the most, food. His family may need to think of some other words if they want to keep Heinz from barging in every time.
