Most dogs love to go for car rides, but this German Shepherd accidentally hops into the wrong car, and once she realizes how comfortable it is, she has absolutely no intention of getting out. And the dog who was supposed to be sitting in that car is totally confused by the whole scene.

@g__mariee shared a clip of the dog already in her car, refusing to budge. What follows is an awkwardly funny standoff that has everybody cracking up, especially since the dog seems completely convinced that she belongs there.

Well, that's a first this little German shepherd really thought this was her car, meanwhile my dog is sitting in the parking lot so confused. She was really about to just come home with a stranger @Flaca_garcia #germanshepherd#puppies#cutepuppies#funnydogs#creatorsearchinsights among us pets

@g__mariee shared more in the caption, "Well, that's a first! LOL! This little German Shepherd really thought this was her car. Meanwhile, my dog is sitting in the parking lot, so confused. She was really about to just come home with a stranger."

The way the dog looked at her mom was almost as if she felt the humans were the ones in the wrong, not her!
