Netflix and Chill...doggie style.

While most dogs spend their time bouncing off the walls, Chiko the Shiba Inu prefers to transform into a human and watch shows on his laptop.

Chiko's human Olesia Kuzmychova told Metro that his TV-watching habit started right after she adopted him. The pup's human-like tendencies are not forced by anyone for the sake of making funny videos — they're remarkably Chiko's own instincts.

"One time, I was watching Netflix with him and after a few minutes he put [two] legs downwards like a human," Kuzmychova told Metro.

The videos on Kuzmychova's YouTube channel document Chiko going through the steps of binge-watching we all know too well.

Just like you, Chiko loves curling up in his favorite hoodie and fuzzy blanket to catch up on cartoons.



We all know the struggle of staying up past our bedtime to watch TV — but Chiko prefers to do so while sitting at the kitchen table like an adult. A respectful roommate, Chiko keeps his headphones at the ready in case the show gets too loud.



Don't worry — Chiko would never forget to make popcorn before settling in for a late-night Netfix marathon.



Like all millennials, Chiko clearly has trouble fighting his TV addiction — sometimes, he even sneaks his computer to the park to watch documentaries.



Chiko, we understand you and we support you.
