Horse Who 'Sits Like a Dog and Lounges Like a House Cat' Will Steal Your Heart

Horses are known for their regal, dignified appearance and their ability to read humans in an instant, but one retired racehorse named Angus is shining a light on some interesting quirks you might not attribute to the breed. Actually, this is one animal intent on showing the world there's a whole lot more to him than we might think!

I have a love/hate relationship with my dog cam If I check my cameras and see my bulldog crying like this, I'm immediately going home #animals#lavellemaslow#dogmom#pets#fyp#fypシ#viral#englishbulldog#dogs#doglover#bulldogs#bulldog#sad

original sound - Lavelle & His Mama

There's never been a more @lavelle_maslow clip than this, because it's just like the throwback to what garnered him internet fame in the first place.

The only thing he started adding over recent months is the emotionally-charged, sad cries, which are enough to convince anyone to give him all their cash.

Talk about a master manipulator! He's just so precious, I'd get in my car so fast!

For a long time now, the English Bulldog has been "making calls" to try to get Mom to come home. Technically, he's just figured out how to trigger the video alert, but since he gets a response, he now knows to do it every time he wants attention and it's *chef's kiss*.

Lonely - Akon

Since Lavelle's been at the video game, he's captivated nearly 100k TikTok followers with each and every new video.

The sassy boy isn't trying to be anyone other than himself, even when it means giving attitude, or ignoring Mom whenever he feels like it.

Even with his dramatic meltdowns, he's a cutie.

The boy's had the power of suggestion down as long as he's been alive. One look into those sad-looking puppy dog eyes and you'd be running home to give him everything he wants, guaranteed.

It's a real talent to be this adorable. Or is it a crime? Either way, how could anyone not do as he suggests?

"I can't tell you how happy I am, it just chokes me up thinking about it," he said.

Kentucky Horse Park president Lee Carter is equally thrilled about the new addition, adding, "He's just the embodiment of everything we talk about here."

This just goes to show: Never judge a book (or a horse) by its cover. Angus is an accomplished racer on the outside, but inside, he's got a little puppy dog heart and a kitty cat mind who wants what we all want: purpose, fulfillment, and most of all, love.
