Dwight is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Jack Russell terrier. He has pleased beast suckers online after a clip showing his not- so-subtle food theft was posted to TikTok by@mynameisdwighttt.
In trials during a 2023 study published in the scientific journal Animal Cognition, a person explicitly told a canine they were interdicted from eating some food. The mortal also went out of the room, leaving the beast alone with the food. Experimenters repeated the trial, varying the brilliance of the lights each time. Incredibly, they set up that the tykes were four times more likely to go for the food when it was dark. They were also hastily to snare the food and seized further of it.
