"He had waved his paw at the treat camera to let the camera know he was there and would like a treat. It was almost like he was trying to get the camera's attention by waving. Like, 'Hi I am here, can I have a treat please Mr. Machine,'" she added.
The TikTok video shows Tyson repeatedly raising his paw in the direction of his treat camera to grab its attention and claim his prize.
A voiceover narration can be heard summing up the moment: "My dog politely asking the treat camera to toss him a treat."
The adorable "Goberian" crossbreed lives with his brother Champ, a Siberian Husky and American Eskimo crossbreed, and their owner McBride-Boccieri in New Jersey. The TikTok account @HalfHuskyBros is dedicated to documenting the two pups' antics and has amassed over 200,000 followers.
The Goberian breed has a life expectancy of between 10 and 15 years, according to Pet Guide.
