German Shepherd "whines" and dines with owner

In psychology we learn about conditioning and how to train your dog/raise your children. In the Pavlov example, giving a dog food and ringing a bell often results in a dog eventually salivating over just the bell. In this video, Benson the Shepherd mix knows if he just keeps whining and looking sweet might result in the smallest crumb.

Sometimes giving in turns into spoiled children - or in this case, PETS! For example, this German Shepherd mix lives alone with his owner and how can you say no to that face?!

Though begging for food is not a characteristic ANY dog should have, this is a whole new story. Benson is such a sweet boy and instead of being in your face, he plays the "innocent, sweet little puppy who is just starving." He tries giving his paw, whining every time his owner says no, and giving those sweet puppy eyes and moves his HUGE ears.

This pup deserves all of the leftovers. Benson has very large ears and a large appetite!
