Otto learned my trick

I had this move all worked out. First I sit, then give a very slight head lean (not too obvious) full eye contact (very important), and the appearance of being very attentive. It always gets snacks. Always.

Now here comes Otto, and completely aces me out. This means half the snacks (the people never seem to have enough). Here's the little moocher in front, working my moves and looking just as attentive.

Despite his complete theft of my method, he's still a pretty good guy, and we like taking hikes together. We make a pretty good team.
