The adorable video has since gone viral, winning hearts across the internet. The clip, shared on Instagram, shows the golden retriever sitting patiently in front of its owner. The owner is enjoying a plate of dosa and sambar while the dog keeps its eyes fixed on the food. As the owner eats, the dog starts to drool, unable to resist the tempting dish any longer.
