In the clip , we meet a beautiful Borzois dog who is hanging out with their dad during dinner time. He's on the couch watching football and eating pizza. And the pup really wants that pizza.

"When your love language is pizza," the text on the video reads. And this dog really wants some pizza.

Dad is sitting on the couch, totally focused on the game while enjoying some delicious pizza. But the dog tries everything to get Dad's attention, so they'll offer a bite.

The dog stands behind the couch, cuddles into dad's leg on the couch, behind the couch again but more sad, on the other couch so they can give dad the sad puppy eye look, walking around the couch to see if they can sneak a slide of mom's plate, gives dad a kiss, pouts on dad's knee, all in an attempt to get dad to share a slide of happiness.

"The greatest love there ever was," the video's caption reads, joking about the beautiful Borzoi's love for pizza. In the comments, people had a good giggle.

One wrote, "So sweet."

Another shared, "The pleading Borzoi face..."

Someone added, "Familiar! Our Borzoi does this when I have toast."

One joked, "Yum! Pizza bones."

Someone else explained, "Awww just give him a lil bite."

Interesting Facts About Borzois

Borzoi dogs aren't ones we often see, but we notice them when we do, thanks to their unique look. According to the American Kennel Club, Borzoi dogs are known for being loyal, affectionate, and really dignified," which are beautiful qualities to have in a doggo.

While those qualities are accurate, the club does note that they're not the best with children, landing in the middle, and the same for both how well they handle other dogs and affection with family in general. These dogs aren't easy to train too much either, and are pretty high energy and need to have opportunities for mental stimulation.

These dogs are gorgeous, fast, and really easy to get along with, though. "Among the most impressively beautiful of all dogs, the aristocratic Borzoi is cherished for his calm, agreeable temperament. In full stride, he is a princely package of strength, grace, and glamour flying by at 35 to 40 miles per hour," the American Kennel Club shares.

But, this dog breed is very similar to cats. "In their quiet, catlike way they can be stubborn, and training is best accomplished with patience, consistency, and good humor," the club warns. Affectionate family dogs, Borzoi are nonetheless a bit too dignified to wholeheartedly enjoy a lot of roughhousing."

Also, they're really great dramatic actors when pizza is involved.
