TikToker Madeline Rigoni learned that the hard way, as her clip shows her struggling to get anything done while her sweet Australian shepherd named Nick demands full attention.

First, the pouting pooch puts his back paw on the laptop lying on Medline's lap, proceeding to swipe his front paw across the screen.

Madeline calmly tries to push him away and explains, "No, I'm working" over and over again. But there's no stopping Nick, who won't rest until he takes the device's place on his human's legs. It doesn't look like she'll be getting any work done while her canine companion is around.

TikTok flooded the comments with laughing emojis, and the clip has 1.5 million views and counting.

Users are all about the dog's diligence. One dubbed him "Administrative assistant of the year." Another joked that the dog just wanted to help: "But mom we will get it done faster if we work together."

Madeline told Newsweek that this isn't the first time her dog Nick has tried to make her quit working.

"I work from home and it was 5 PM on a Friday, so I was just working from the couch. Nick was not happy about that, and he wanted to tell me I needed to stop working and get ready to enjoy the weekend," she said.

This dog clearly doesn't want his owner doing overtime.

Madeline admitted that it's hard for her to say no to her persistent pooch, and we can see why – that face is irresistible!
