Many people compare looking after a puppy to having a child, and judging by this video, it’s easy to see why.
Nick Chapman, 26, recorded his best efforts to complete a home workout, but his German shepherd puppy, Leia, had other plans.
The footage, posted to @_nickchap on Instagram, has racked up an astounding 9.5 million views. It shows Chapman attempting to do a set of push-ups, while five-month-old Leia nibbles on his wrists and t-shirt, refusing to play with her toys. Chapman, from Plymouth, England, asks her to “behave,” but she continues to disturb him, even making occasional noises that have been paired with text of what he believes she is saying, such as: “I crave violence.”
Chapman, a physiologist, told Newsweek: “I try to workout from home, but it often isn’t possible,” adding that Leia was only playing.
