So Courteney gave proof that doggies have VERY clear priorities when it comes to saving mom or just having dinner: The huge hit among the Internet was the hilariously funny clip posted by the Friends star, wherein two doggies kept ignoring Courteney’s very dramatic and even more obviously fake plea for help and went about eating their dinner.

As Cox was screaming, “Come on, Lily! Come here! Oh no! Where are you? Where are you?” her dogs, Lily and Bear, kept on munching, totally ignoring her. She even screamed out, “This is real!” and they didn’t move an inch. The clip ends with Cox laughing and saying, “Okay, well now I know.”

In return, the comment section blew up with people relating REALLY HARD to this common experience every dog owner shares. One comment said, “Saving mom? Nah…dinner first,” while another comment simply said, “They didn’t give two shits.” A third one mentioned the matter even deeper: “Dogs are too smart and can tell when we are acting, and don’t have real fear or adrenaline. They can sense heart rate, etc.” A pretty valid point, still laughable.

Even more dog lovers followed in their footsteps with similar stories. “I have a Cavalier King Charles and would do the same. Nothing comes before food lol,” one wrote, and another added, “Lunch vs. you. Lunch-def lunch.” Loud and clear: There’s not a treat in the world that can distract a dog.

Some fans couldn’t resist referencing one of Cox’s most famous roles: “Ghostface used to be more efficient!..😂 but I’m glad he let you go this time.” One asked straight out, “Will you be in Scream 7?” Cox remains silent on that.

It did inspire some more grounded commentary, though, with one person asking “Where is your support for Palestine, Courtney?” These just felt all kinds of wrong on such a light-hearted furry video. There were also some (probably spam) comments soliciting donations for medical causes, which we won’t bother repeating.

What makes this clip so perfect for sharing is that it is relatable to anyone who’s ever tried to get their dog’s attention in the middle of dinner. That real-life moment of: They really are less interesting than kibble? Absolutely priceless. Somehow Cox has always been able to nail capturing these pet-related spur-of-the-moment disasters through such a hilarious lens, and I think this one might be her best yet.
