A Rottweiler named Dyce was expecting to get a pup cup on his drive home, and didn’t take it too well when his owner showed up to the car empty-handed.
In a viral video shared on TikTok earlier in October by @dycederottweiler, the pup looks heartbroken as his owner comes back from the café without his favorite treat, looking at her with puppy eyes, trying to make her feel guilty.
“Baby they were too busy for a pup cup … I’m sorry!” his owner can be heard telling him, as a caption reads: “And now he doesn’t want to come out of the car.”
However, the 3-year-old pup did indeed manage to guilt-trip her into going the extra mile to get him a treat. The poster, 25-year-old Anouk Lodder from the Netherlands, told Newsweek: “Dyce was very disappointed and didn’t want to come out of the car when I told him I had no pup cup. [So] we drove to another pup-cup location.”
Pups cups are very popular among dogs, and they all seem to go crazy for it. But is this delicious and creamy snack actually safe for them?
The Bay Vets website says that, while pup cups, also known as pappuccinos, are made of ingredients that are not toxic for dogs, they should be considered as a special treat for your pup to have “once in a blue moon.”

That’s because, while not all dogs are lactose-intolerant, many are to varying degrees, and so the cream in the dessert could lead to gastrointestinal upset, which could in turn result in diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite.
Sharing food with your pup may feel like a way to bond with them, but you must be careful what you feed them. Some of the foods that we eat everyday, and that are safe for us, may be toxic, or even lethal, to our canines.
Foods that should never get near your dog include chocolate, onions, garlic, chives, alcohol, grapes and raisins, caffeine, yeast dough, and macadamia nuts among many others. All moldy foods are also a no-go, according to an article by Dr. Dave Leicester for Vets Now. You can read a list of foods you can safely share with your pets here.
Just because you can’t necessarily share the same foods doesn’t mean your pup can’t join you for a celebratory meal. There are dog versions for lots of our most delicious foods, which you can buy for your pup, so they can join in the fun. There is even pawsecco, if you feel like your dog deserves a toast.
The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 837,000 views and more than 114,100 likes on the platform.
One user, Entre Nous, commented: “Oh nooooo. They can’t do that. Pup Cups are way more important than coffee.”
Sasuke posted: “His face. watch [your back (tonight)].”
