Footage shows a cute dog from the Philippines trying her best to fight off sleep while sitting on a chair.

The one-year-old Shih Tzu named Cessna was waiting for her owner to finish work but she was struggling to stay awake.

"We kept telling her to go to sleep in the chair, but she is the clingiest dog ever so she wants to wait for us to finish," the filmer Michael told Newsflare.

The cute video was taken inside their family home in Zamboanga City on May 17.
