Professor Brian Hare at Duke University studies people's pet dogs to understand how canines think_  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Sep 23, 2015 6:57 PM UTC  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Sep 23, 2015 6:57 PM UTC [Bernie](http://mashable.com/2015/09/22/baby-bulldog/#eLE9jNxeASqt) the 80-pound English bulldog is so over that whole exercising thing. In this video, Bernie refuses to budge when an 11-month-old boy tries to get him to take a stroll. The toddler uses every adorable trick in the book to try to convince the massive dog to join him on a walk, but in the end, laziness wins out. Despite his furry friend’s stubbornness, the little boy remains in good spirits, flailing around before falling on the ground in laughter.
