This Dog Discovered How To Eat On The Couch

This happened one day, two years ago. Murphy’s family had just finished filling his dog bowl with food, and then, like always, the family went into the other room to watch TV as they ate on the couch, leaving the dog in the kitchen. But Murphy wanted to be with his family. And so he did.

"My daughter and I were sitting at opposite ends of the couch eating our dinner when he brought his bowl in and hopped between us, gently placed it down and began to eat," Audrey Waito, the dog's owner, told The Dodo.

And so, Murphy discovered how to eat while chilling on the couch.

Murphy's done the same thing ever since.

Waito and her family hardly mind having Murphy eat with them on the couch — in fact, it's something they welcome.

By dining on the couch like everyone else, it's clear that Murphy considers himself to be a bona fide member of the family. And he's not the only one who thinks so.

"He is my other child," Waito said. "He's quite spoiled."

Smart doggo.
