Little girl encourages pets to say grace before their meal
A true animal whisperer in action...
World-famous dog whisperer and trainer Cesar Millan once said, "Discipline isn't about showing a dog who's boss; it's about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world."
A young girl perfectly demonstrated this, proving that love and respect go hand in hand with discipline. While the word discipline often carries a negative connotation and many mistake it for punishment – that isn't always the case.
In a video that was shared on Instagram, a young girl steps onto a patio carrying three bowls of food for her pet dogs. Naturally, the dogs are bouncing around in anticipation.
But this young girl remains calm and confidently instructs her dogs to say grace. Her words carry weight as the dogs appear to kneel, becoming still in quiet obedience.
Once they are settled, she kneels and places a bowl in front of each of the dogs. Still, they did not eat or move.
She claps twice – still, they don't move. Only when she says "Amen" do they eagerly begin to eat.
Watch the adorable video from Instagram below.
