Whenever maintenance comes over to fix a problem in my apartment, my cat Zeke instantly goes into guard mode. Or so I thought. I later learned my big and adorable boy just wants attention — stealing pets instead of protecting the home. Great work, Zeke!
Recently, TikToker @bebebrioche posted a hilarious clip of her doodle “guarding” the apartment from the maintenance crew while she was gone. What starts as a fierce standoff quickly turns into one of the sweetest scenes you’ll ever see.

From Fierce Guard to Playful Pup
When the maintenance team first arrived, the sleepy doodle woke up with a start, shocked to see unfamiliar faces. At first, he barked furiously, warning the crew that this was his home. But only seconds later, the tough act faded. The doodle quickly swapped growls for wags, tail going a mile a minute.
The next clip shows the pup proudly carrying around a Lambchop plush toy, nudging it at the workers as if begging them to stop fixing things and start playing. With that sweet face and wagging tail, who could resist? Instead of a guard dog, the maintenance crew ended up with an unexpected playmate.
Viewers Can’t Stop Laughing
The TikTok went viral, racking up over 3.6 million views, nearly 600K likes, and thousands of comments. Viewers instantly connected with the doodle’s change of heart and shared their own hilarious reactions:
“Aww he’s like ‘hey while you’re here do you wanna play with me real fast’ 😂” wrote one person.
“Stop what a sweetie pie 😭” exclaimed another.
One viewer joked, “They are only intruders when they are outside the house. Once they are in, they’re guests.”
Another added, “She’s acting like she threw a house party while the parents weren’t home 😆.”
Not Much of a Guard Dog After All
Sometimes, all a dog really wants is to make a few new friends and show off their favorite toy. This doodle may not be the fiercest guard dog around, but with his lovable antics, he’s definitely one of the funniest. And who knows? Maybe the maintenance crew left with their hearts just a little fuller after meeting him.
