A golden retriever's glaring side-eye is sparking laughter among viewers online, after his disappointed reaction to missing out on a Starbucks pup cup went viral.
Beau, a golden retriever in California, was captured on video by his owner sitting in the passenger seat of a car, visibly sulking. In the short TikTok clip, Beau stares ahead, refusing to look at his owner, before glancing back with unmistakable judgment in his eyes.
An overlaid caption on the video added more context: "Someone's very upset we passed Starbucks without stopping for a pup cup."
The post, shared to TikTok by @_beauthegoldenboy on July 30, has racked up more than 2.8 million views and over 609,000 likes to date. It has left viewers on the platform in stitches over Beau's dramatic display of canine disappointment.
"His side eye! Don't worry he got his pup cup!" the video's caption added.
A pup cup is a small, dog-friendly treat typically offered at coffee chains like Starbucks—usually a serving of whipped cream in an espresso-sized cup.
While not officially on the menu, many locations provide them for free upon request, making them a popular ritual among dog owners during drive-thru visits.
The treat is often shown in social media videos, with countless clips showing eager dogs lighting up at the sight of their pup cup, cementing its place as a beloved indulgence in the pet community.
The brief video quickly struck a chord with TikTok users, who were quick to comment on Beau's expressive reaction. Several jokingly jumped to his support, pressuring his owner to get him the treat.
"Someone call the pawlice please," one viewer said, while another person commented: "I'm calling the police."
"Better go back for a pup cup," a third viewer commented.
"Hey, I don't like that," another commenter said. "Turn around."
"Go back and get this baby a pup cup," one TikToker wrote.
"When my [boyfriend] says no to a Starbucks," another said.
"This face could ask me to commit wire fraud, and I would have a hard time saying no," a commenter said.
"If you didn't turn around for a pup cup...So, help me dog," said one commenter.
"I would fall for that every time," another added.
