Bulldog throws sweet tantrum when owner says he can't snuggle
When a family decides to get a dog, they must be ready for all kinds of new experiences and situations.
But what if the situation is a 50-pound dog wanting to sleep on top of you every single time you lay down?

That is exactly the situation for Reuben the Bulldog’s human dad.
The man decided to take a rest on his living room couch, hopeful that he might be able to get in a short nap, but Reuben had other plans.
As soon as the man lay down and got comfortable and snuggled into his blanket, the pup strolled over ready to take his rightful place in the mans lap.
Unfortunately for Reuben though, his owner wanted to nap solo that day and refused the dogs attempts to join him.
After saying “No” numerous times, Reuben decided to show his unhappiness with the situation by getting right up in his owners face and sneezing on him.
“He just sprayed me in the face with cheese smelling mucus.” said the man with a slight look of disgust.
When the message finally got through to Reuben that he would not be allowed to snuggle that day he made sure to show his unhappiness in the cutest of ways.
He slowly waddled over to his own bed that was mere feet away from where his owner was laying, and threw himself into it.
He flopped around making a big show of how upset he was, all while keeping an eye on his owner to check that he was still watching.
He flopped around in his bed and cried loudly at the thought of having to sleep alone.
Unfortunately for Reuben though, these theatrics did not work on his owner and he was never beckoned over so they could nap together.
“Sometimes I need a break,” the man says to the camera, “I can’t always have a dog laying on top of me every time I lay down. Now he’s pouting.”

And pouting he definitely was, Reuben continued to roll around on his bed and yell his frustrations at the top of his voice.
After settling down for a few quick seconds, he was back up and trying again to get up on his owners lap as the man remained laying down.
Unfortunately for Reuben, his owner held firm and the dog was not allowed up that day.
Bulldogs are a breed known for their laid-back attitudes and friendly nature, and Reuben is certainly no different.
They are a medium sized breed with a big personality and lots of love to give.
They are very smart dogs who love to learn new tricks and are easily trainable, though you’d better have some tasty treats as a reward when they nail their new trick for you.

While Reuben may still be young, he is already extremely stubborn and knows what he wants, hopefully his owner caved eventually and let the poor pup snuggle.
