Badger refuses to start eating until he's received a kiss on the forehead.
Adorable meal time routine
Sagar Jha discovered this for himself when he was in charge of dog-sitting Badger on behalf of his owners.
Proving that Badger's endearing gesture is not a one-off, Sagar compiled videos of it, showing that it's part of the pup's daily routine.
Sagar's videos have attracted over one million views on TikTok, as dog lovers can't get enough of watching Badger.

When Badger’s owners got back, Sagar surprised them with a montage of Badger, showing what a good boy he had been while they were away and the wonderful bond that Sagar and Badger shared.
