Shannon Sharpe is known for his bold personality, and he didn’t hold back after facing backlash for his Thanksgiving video featuring his dog sitting at the table. The viral clip showed Sharpe leading a heartfelt prayer with his beloved pet in his lap, but the internet wasn’t quite as thankful for the unconventional setup.
Critics quickly flooded the comments section, questioning Sharpe’s decision to have his dog so close to the food. One commenter wrote, “You know no animals allowed on the table!!!” Sharpe responded swiftly, “At your house or mine?”

Another critic chimed in, arguing that dogs shouldn’t eat at the table. Sharpe shot back, “What makes you think I’m going to allow you 2 tell me what I should do at my house?” He didn’t stop there, telling a different user they had “a one in an octillion chance” of ever dining with him.
