How does your dog tell you it's -their- dinnertime? (piefed.social)

(My last post was misunderstood, so I'd just like to clarify a bit)

This isn't really a bad behavior that needs correcting or anything like that, I just find it really hilarious. My dog acts absolutely pathetic to the point where it makes me laugh. He starts staring me down about an hour beforehand. If I try and pet him he tells me no, he doesn't want any pets, yet keeps on being as close (and annoying!) as possible. He will put his head on me, paws on me, anything he can to let me know he's starving, to DEATH!!!

So, how does your dog act when he knows it's dinnertime and you just won't feed him already?

Growing up, we had one Doxie that would nose around the bowl. The a golden-mut mix that would go “aRo-Roo-Roo-roo” softly. (This was Snickers, a very good doggo.)

Then there was another Doxie of my moms that had been trained to ring a bell to go out…. She’d also ring the bell and immediately go to the food bowl.
