Zeus, a Doberman from the Instagram account @zeus.da.moose_dobermann, makes it clear when someone takes his favorite spot. In a funny video, the black-and-tan Doberman notices a boy sitting in his usual place on the couch. Zeus stands nearby and appears unhappy about the unexpected guest. He lets out a howl as if he wants the boy to know that the seat already belongs to him.
Doberman follows his howling protest with a direct move for the couch
The video opens with Zeus sitting on the couch while the boy appears to occupy the space the dog wants. Zeus looks toward him and begins vocalizing, seemingly protesting the fact that someone else has taken over his usual spot. The text across the video reads, “You are in my spot, pal,” setting up the joke before Zeus even makes his next move.
Zeus eventually moves closer and climbs onto the couch. He squeezes into the space next to the boy, determined to get his spot back. As he moves across the couch, Zeus ends up partly on top of the boy while trying to reclaim his favorite space.
The Instagram account @zeus.da.moose_dobermann features Zeus and his everyday adventures. According to the account’s bio, Zeus is a Doberman who is “living his best life.” The profile also lists his birth date as June 19, 2021, and identifies his location as Great Britain.
The dog’s determination quickly entertained viewers, with many relating to the idea of a pet having very specific opinions about its favorite spots. One user joked, “Dobermans are so very specific about THEIR spots hahahaha.” Another called the moment “so funny and joyful,” while one viewer summed up Zeus’s approach with the comment, “SNOOF ATTACK.” Someone else wrote that Zeus “got flabbergasted.” Another viewer declared it “The funniest reel I saw today.” The caption, “No one sits in my spot, pal,” perfectly matches the video’s joke.
