Colt, appearing to be irritated, responds with some whines and moaning barks.

To this, Colt responds with another soft bark.
Caleb, who was out of frame at the time, interjected, “I said you rubbed your butt on my headrest.”
The entire internet burst out laughing when this cheeky dog kept talking back to both of his owners.
