Dogs are cute, and so are kids. A combination of both is beyond adorable, especially when the two are good friends. Baby Ava and her German shepherd Brano are one such pair. The two spend a lot of time together playing and generally just enjoying each other’s company.

The two, however, seem to cross paths when it comes to food. Ava’s father recently recorded a moment when she was holding her furry friend’s treat, firmly refusing to give it back despite the dad trying to distract her. The dog sits down beside her, pleading with his eyes to no avail. The little girl made it clear that no one else was having any treat if she wasn’t having one herself.

The footage starts when the father gives Brano a dog treat. The giant dog seems excited and is happily munching his bone-shaped treat when a little hand appears beneath his muzzle. The tiny hand struggles until it gets a grasp of the gift then pulls it off the canine’s mouth.

At that particular moment, Brano is distracted by some of the pieces that fell from his mouth when he was taking a bite off the treat whose reminder is now hidden nicely behind the toddler’s back. He quickly licks off the crumbs then notices that a large part of his bone is missing. He looks towards the obvious suspect, who defiantly looks back.

The giant dog spots the treat in Ava’s hand and tries to get it, but it is quickly jerked away. The dog decides against pursuing the matter farther and settles on the girl’s side where he conveniently engages his puppy dog eyes, hoping that the treat will come his way sooner than later.

Ava’s father tries to convince the tiny girl to give back the bone, but she hears none of it. Instead, she gives Brano her hand to lick while clutching the treat on her other side. The dog affectionately licks the hand, but he clearly wants his gift back.

It is quite interesting how Brano could have easily used his size to knock Ava over and take back his treat, but instead chooses to sit still by her side and wait patiently till she offers to give it back herself.

Ava’s father urges the hound to get its treat back, but he won’t budge. Instead, he glances at him then at Ava. The dad is trying to make her feel bad for ‘stealing’ the treat, but she completely ignores him.

He even asks her to give it to him, but she simply stares at him and clutches the bone tighter. The father then tries to distract her by offering his hand for her to tap, hoping that Brano will seize the opportunity to take back his treat.

The plan, however, quickly backfires as the baby manages to tap the hand and still keep the treat away from the dog’s mouth. The father laughs and stops filming as he comments that the pleading could go on for hours.
