In a video shared by @thespicygoldenn, a full-on house party is happening \u2014 people chatting, plates filling up with cheese, good vibes everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And right in the middle of it all sits Bentley, wearing the kind of expression that suggests a deep personal betrayal. The kind of sad that feels very intentional. Bentley, a <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/dog-breeds\/golden-retriever\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Golden Retriever;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Golden Retriever<\/a> known online for his permanently unimpressed face, looks around the room like he genuinely cannot believe this is how the night is going.<\/p>\n<p>Video shows Golden Retriever\u2019s sad face saying it all when cheese tax goes unpaid<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The video opens with Bentley planted on the floor as the party swirls around him. The on-screen text explains the problem plainly: no one is paying the cheese tax. The camera zooms in, and Bentley\u2019s face does most of the talking. He glances side to side, as if hoping someone will make eye contact and realize the mistake they\u2019re making.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Next, Bentley\u2019s mission for snacks takes him directly to the grazing table, which is loaded with every treat imaginable. He stands there staring at the spread, then looks back at his human with the saddest eyes ever recorded. His look says, \u201cSo we\u2019re really doing this?\u201d There\u2019s no aggression here \u2014 just hope, fading slowly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the following shots, Bentley upgrades his strategy. He wedges himself between the kitchen island and a guest putting food on a plate. He stands there perfectly still, just in case gravity does the right thing. When even that fails, he presses himself between people at the counter, patiently waiting for someone to crack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Seeing him there (him, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/video-golden-retriever-proves-pasta-101816354.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:pasta expert;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pasta expert<\/a>) while everyone ignores him was almost too much for some to handle. The \u201ccheese tax\u201d is a serious matter in his household, and the comments section fully sides with him. Viewers call it \u201ccheese tax evasion,\u201d demand justice, and insist someone get this dog an entire cheese board. Bentley might have left the party hungry, but he certainly won the hearts of thousands of supportive strangers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\/news\/199724-golden-retriever-said-cheese-tax-video-instagram\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Golden Retriever Makes the Saddest Face When No One Pays Cheese Tax;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Golden Retriever Makes the Saddest Face When No One Pays Cheese Tax<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/dogtime.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DogTime;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve ever watched a dog clock a snack table from across the room, you\u2019ll understand Bentley immediately.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[177070,177072,40095,97,100912,177071],"class_list":{"0":"post-357381","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-bentley","9":"tag-cheese-board","10":"tag-golden-retriever","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-house-party","13":"tag-snack-table"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
