But, but, but… Mom! I want to swim

Here’s a familiar scenario.

A kid, or a pup in this case, refusing to leave his or her playground — refusing to quit playing.

This German Shepherd’s mom calls her home.

“It’s time to go.”

And the dog lets out that oh-so-familiar tone in her whine —

“But…”

What a feat of communication.
