A woman has gone viral for capturing video proof of just how attention-seeking her dog is, calling the pet "shameless."

Liv Purser, 22, lives in Bristol, U.K. with her pup, Watson, a 13-year-old springer spaniel.

Springers are known for their lovey-dovey nature, with the American Kennel Club describing the breed as craving company and becoming miserable when neglected.

But as Purser's video proves, in her senior dog's case, being neglected means not being constantly showered with love and attention at all times.

"He's been with us since he was a puppy, and I'd describe him as part dog, part drama queen," Purser told Newsweek.

A video shared to her TikTok account @livvloux on November 10 shows her lying on a bed with her pup, telling the camera: "I need help, because my dog—look at him, look at how he acts when I don't stroke him."

In the seconds after Purser starts talking, Watson wriggles and sneezes—and then the tantrum begins, as he lets out a frustrated whine, followed by a grumble, followed by rolling around and crashing into Purser.

He then moves to the other side of the bed and sulks, his head and ears low, still making a high-pitched whining, as Purser asks: "Are you done?"

She wrote over the clip: "How my dog acts when I don't touch him constantly," and added in a caption: "I love him though."

Purser told Newsweek his "dramatic tantrums and fake sneezes are basically his way of saying, 'Why aren't you touching me yet?'

"Honestly, I think his constant need for attention really resonates with people because, let's face it, we definitely all have our Watson moments!"

TikTok users loved the clip, with one joking: "Thank God he didn't overreact," and another found it relatable and added: "This might be me."

Others shared their own stories, with one user saying: "My Cocker Spaniel is the same," and another suggesting it "might be a spaniel thing."

And another revealed: "Mine will do this and actively PUSH my phone out the way with his snout if I look at it too long."

Speaking about her "adorable and absolutely shameless" pup, Purser admitted Watson's tantrums are common, because "he thrives on being the center of attention and has an entire repertoire of funny quirks".

"Whenever he meets new people he instantly sits on their feet so they can stroke him. Aside from his dramatic sneezing, he's incredibly vocal, like he's trying to hold a full-blown conversation with us—or tell us off for being neglectful."

As for seeing her dog go viral, she said she is loving "seeing people enjoy Watson as much as we do".

"It's a bit surreal that so many strangers are head over heels for my dog, but it's also incredibly sweet," she said.

"If anything, I hope it reminds people to give their own dogs a few extra cuddles because they just want love."
