Ohio Dog Wants Nothing To Do With Owner But Watch What Happens When She Hears Her Favorite Song
Rosie wasn’t having it. Nope. She was giving her mom the cold shoulder, tail tucked, face turned, full-on dramatic mode. You could just feel the sass from across the room.
But then, something magical happened. Her favorite song started playing, and everything changed in a heartbeat.
But let’s rewind for a second.
Kathie, a dog-loving woman from Ohio, shares her home (and heart) with four beautiful Australian shepherds: Rosie, Jazmine, Frankie, and Johnathan Paw.
She’s the kind of dog mom who knows her crew inside and out, from their quirks to their favorite songs.
And Rosie? Oh, she’s been in love with one special song since she was just a tiny little fluffball.
That song is “You Are My Sunshine.” It’s Rosie’s happy place, and her instant mood-lifter. Whenever she hears it, something lights up in her and she just has to wag her tail, even if she’s been pouting all day.
So, back to that moment, Rosie was sulking on the couch, clearly upset over something. Kathie called her name, hoping to smooth things over.
But Rosie? Total side-eye. Zero interest. She was in her feelings, and her whole body screamed, “I’m mad, don’t talk to me.”
She gave Kathie that stubborn, pouty silence dogs do when they’ve decided they’ve been wronged. And nothing was gonna change that… until Kathie started singing.
Just a few notes of “You are my sunshine” and boom! Rosie’s tail started wagging like it had a mind of its own.
She tried to fight it, kicking her back legs in protest, but she just couldn’t stop that tail from wagging like crazy.
That adorable video, shared on TikTok and captioned “When Rosie was mad at me, but this is her song so her butt betrayed her pouting,” had people giggling and gushing all over the internet.
Over 5 million views later, the comments were full of laughs. People couldn’t believe how dramatically Rosie was trying to stay mad, even as her tail gave her away.
So what sparked the drama in the first place? Well, Kathie had pulled the ultimate betrayal (in dog terms): she stopped Rosie from snacking on a baby bunny she’d found outside.
Rosie didn’t argue; she just sulked. Dramatically. On the couch. For hours.
These days, Rosie’s slowing down a bit. She’s almost 11, and signs of doggy dementia are starting to show.
Sometimes she forgets where she is or gets confused around her dog siblings. Kathie does everything she can to help her feel safe and loved.
And the one thing that always brings Rosie back to herself? “You’re My Sunshine.” The moment she hears that song, she immediately calms down. Her eyes soften, her tail wags, and the fog clears for a while.
It’s amazing how one melody can mean so much. For Rosie, it’s not just a song. It’s a memory, a feeling, and a safe place. And for Kathie, it’s the best way to reconnect with her girl, even on the hardest days.
