It really doesn't take long to make an impression. Although worrying about this too much can only have the effect of making every first meeting uncomfortable, it is true that it's easier to form our first impressions than it is to change them.
So when they sync up nicely with who someone really is, that means we're blessed with a fast friend.
And when that someone is a dog who stole the internet's heart in one five-second video, that means everybody is his fast friend.
They were there to enjoy some dinner, which included a very tempting bowl of fries. However, they weren't there alone.
Not only does Ross consider Rab "the best dog going," but he's also the reason the couple decided to film their food that evening.
Although he gets points for his speedy and silent technique, he didn't quite have as much cover in his covert operation as he thought.
After all, the Twitter video of his sneaky raid has now been seen over 4.5 million times. And if that number sounds surprising, Ross would probably agree with you.
As The Irish News reported, he said, "We found it hilarious at the time, so filmed him in the act. We shared it with family and friends and it soon after went viral."
Rather than jam his face into the bowl and grab a bunch of fries like most dogs (and, let's face it, some humans), Rab carefully took the fries one at a time so it would be less noticeable.
As he shared on Twitter, he's raising money for Alzheimer's research by participating in the London Marathon. So this clip proved a good opportunity to get some exposure for his cause.
As Ross said, "He is such a character and he shows that in the clip. He is totally oblivious to how popular he is."
Rab isn't the only one who wants to share dinner with their owner!
It's already garnered 800+ followers in less than a week. Obviously his sneaky ways have made him an internet sensation. You can follow him here.
