Internet - When a dog sees what his owner's father is doing, he is beside himself and tries to stop the man.

When Emma Lawrence heard the loud barking of her rescue dog "Flynn" from the garden, she knew immediately that something was wrong.

She quickly went outside to find out what had upset her furry friend.

The cause was soon clear: Flynn had obviously had enough of Emma's father suddenly digging holes in the meadow - something the dog himself was never allowed to do!

Confused and outraged that he seemed to be digging with impunity, the four-legged friend barked like a wild animal - as if he was reprimanding his father.

Emma, who captured the moment, posted the funny video on TikTok . The reaction was overwhelming: people were completely on Flynn's side and celebrated the clever dog's protest.
