Cape Cod, Massachusetts - When Benny the dog doesn't want to stop annoying his owner, she has a brilliant idea and name-drops a very specific person... when the four-legged friend hears this, it's game over!

In a viral clip, the golden retriever is seen repeatedly nibbling at his owner.

"I'm gonna tell Grandma," the dog's owner threatens, and then jokingly calls out, "Grandma, is that you?"

These few words are enough to make the pup freeze. Panicked, the pooch looks towards the door, where he awaits his grandmother – and a telling-off!

When he doesn't see his grandma, he continues his cheeky attack.

But his owner doesn't let up and says, "Did you just hear her? Grandma? You're going to discipline Benny?" she lies.

As if Benny understands his owner's words, he actually lets go of her!

She's gonna get you in trouble," his owner taunts.

But the dog refuses to be fooled any further. After all, his grandmother hasn't turned up yet. Without further ado, he bites into his owner's slipper.

"Hey," she laughs. "You're bad."

She then grabs the four-legged friend's cuddly toy to playfully – and successfully – blackmail him into leaving the shoe alone!

In a follow-up video, Benny's owner responds to the request of a viewer who was curious to see how he behaves in the presence of his grandma. However, anyone expecting the four-legged friend to be terrified of the woman is mistaken.

The clip proves it – Benny is a total Grandma's boy!
