Forget bones: for this dog, popsicles are the hottest snack in town.

Rambo is a two and half-year old English Bulldog with a soft spot for popsicles. Every time the ice cream truck rolls by in his hometown of Hunstville, Alabama, Rambo runs out to lap up --without paying! -- his favorite frozen delicacy.

"This dog always gets ice cream from me while the owner is watching," Akins Luwoye, the ice cream truck's owner, told local news station WAAY31.

It's not like the treats come free of charge. Rambo leaves his owner with the bill, who appears more than happy to pay it because hey -- popsicles are important to this dog.

Rambo has been excited about the ice cream truck since first hearing its jingle about a year ago. Since then, he runs out to catch his subsidized treat every time it drives by.

"Rambo was all excited out of nowhere,” his owner Ashish Silwal, told local news station WAAY31. “And I was like, okay, let’s go get some Popsicles, and next thing you know he’s jumping in the truck."

Dogs like Rambo make loyal friends, and even more loyal customers.
