In the video, the tri-colored Border Collie can be seen gently patting a sleeping human. The text overlay on the video reads, “She’s trying so hard to be the most polite in waking up my bff.” The polite dog garnered lots of attention on TikTok. Many people were amazed at how gentle the pup was. For many, wake-up calls from their dogs are less gentle. One TikTok user wrote, “My dog slaps me in the face to wake up”, while another said, “My dog jumps on me and barks at me if I don’t get up within 5 seconds.” They could learn a thing or two from the polite Border Collie!
