A WOMAN claims to have caught her pet dog pretending to be a stray and begging for burgers outside McDonald's.

Betsy Reyes of Oklahoma City, USA says Princess sneaks out at night and lingers outside her local fast food restaurant in the hope customers will feed her.

In a Facebook post that has since gone viral, Reyes shared a photo of Princess saying: “If you see my dog @ the McDonald’s on shields, quit feeding her fat ass bc she don’t know how to act & be leaving the house all the time to go walking to McDonald’s at night.

“She’s not even a stray dog.”

Reyes decided that sharing the image on Facebook was simply not enough, and drove to catch the pet in the act at her local McDonald's on Monday night, reported Time.

She caught her dog waiting to bed fed by other customers. In the video, a woman in her car appears to throw Princess some food from the window.

She posted the video, writing: “When I caught her ass in the act.”

As she pulled up to the driveway, her dog immediately recognised her and started wagging her tail before jumping up and down in excitement.

The hilarious posts racked up more than 291k likes on Facebook, and has over 29k comments.

Many comments have labelled Princess as a “diva”, while others called her “smart” and “funny”.

The dog received some serious recognition, and even had a fan account made for her on Instagram called "dogatmacdonald".

Others took the opportunity to transform the original picture of Princess into a hilarious meme.
