Riley was in your spot and seeming to refuse to get up. Every command you gave didn't work. He was choosing to be stubborn.

David tried helping, but nothing worked. So enough, you gave up on removing the dog by voice command.

"Is he sick or something? He normally listens," David observes before his eyes widen from watching you pick up the dog like he was a tiny puppy. Riley gave you that side eye dogs do and looked to David for help. "I don't think he likes that."
