Dogs love going for car rides with their pet parents, and if your dog gets excited every time you grab your keys, you won't want to miss this American bully named Momma's reaction after her dad leaves her behind. She definitely brings on the drama!

Momma has a brother named Bo, and on this day, their dad took Bo for a car ride but left Momma at home. When Dad came home and tried to apologize to her, she made it very clear that she was beyond angry at him. He tried to offer her a peanut butter-covered cracker, which she refused. But when Mom tried to give it to her? She happily accepted it!

She definitely got her own car ride after this #americanbullylover#roadto500followers#dogsofmichigan#bigmad#michigancheck

Fortunately, Mom shared in the caption that Momma did get her own car ride after this. We're wondering if Bo reacted the same way!

Momma's Silent Treatment Game Is Absolutely Unmatched, and the Internet Is Living for It

Like us, viewers got a kick out of Momma's over-the-top reaction to her dad not taking her in the car and left more than 2,000 comments about it. @CurlsandKu$h got more than 70,000 likes when they said, "A lady who stands on business and knows her worth."

Everybody laughed when @Keep.it.movinn shared, "That peanut butter from dad tastes like broken promises and missed car rides..." @Enriette agreed, "She doesn't want your BETRAYAL PEANUT BUTTER!!!"

@into.it.if got nearly 67,000 likes when they said what Momma was probably thinking: "No thanks, you can save that peanut butter for your BEST FRIEND."

Commenter @Samantha Ross made a good point with, "Apologizing to a dog that won't accept your apology has GOT to be humbling LOL!"

Hill's Pet Nutrition explains that dogs do get angry, but not exactly like we do, since anger is too complex a feeling for dogs to experience. But they definitely give us lots of signs when they're upset, like giving us the silent treatment, avoiding eye contact, and ignoring us when we try to apologize.

Another way your dog might convey their anger is by growling, according to Rover. If you try to approach your dog and they growl at you, it could mean they're telling you to back off and give them some space, especially if they left the room and you followed them. It's a sign that they need some time to cool off, just like us humans sometimes do!
