A dog's unusual way of behaving at her doggy day care center has left viewers on Reddit in hysterics.

The canine's owner had taken to the platform on June 16, with an image of the pup, named Stella, appearing as if she has taken a position of authority above all the other dogs at the day care center.

"Stella thinks she is a people?" the dog's owner said in the post, while an image accompanying the text showed Stella sitting upright on a chair in the middle of nine other canines—all of whom were captured snoozing on the floor beneath her seat.

"I think because she would watch us sit in chairs and stools," Stella's owner added. "She has to sit on chairs and stools … This is at her day care."

The post, which has been upvoted more than 3,000 times to date, has sparked amused comments from Reddit users keen to poke fun at the hilarious scene. Several viewers wrote that the image makes Stella look like the last standing leader after a battle with opponents, while others noted that the lighthearted image makes the canine look as if she works at the day care center.

"Someone is a musical chairs prodigy," one viewer said, while another added: "I, Stella, am the ruler of these lands now!"

"I hope she's getting a meaty paycheck for keeping an eye on nap time," a third viewer shared.

"She looks like the last standing cult leader," a different viewer posted.

"Hey guys … Teacher left ME in charge! No funny business," one comment read.

"They are playing Deadman and she is it," another said. "If she catches any of them moving, they are out!"

"Stella is clearly the after school care provider who has to sit around making sure everyone closes their eyes," one user added.

"Recess monitor," another said, in agreement, while a third wrote: "Doggy kindergarten teacher watching over naptime."

"It always pays to have the high ground," a different viewer commented.

"There's something about her, I don't really know what, she just seems better than a 'standard' dog," another said. "Like I don't know, she deserves more? If you know what I mean?"
