We all like to treat our pets from time to time.

But one person took their dog to a very fancy New York restaurant to give them the perfect burger.

Anna Silman tweeted about her friend, who is the chef at a restaurant in the city.

The order was pretty detailed – and we feel bad for the waiter who had to deal with it.

The order said: ‘1 beef burger. Med rare, no cheese, side salad.’

There are then additional instructions for the kitchen: ‘This is for a dog. No salt, no oil, no seasoning, no pepper. Absolutely plain, no toppings, no garnishes.

‘No bacon, no pickles, no onion, no bread, no lettuce, no side salad.’

To really stress the point, they added: ‘Just the plain pattie – this is for a dog.’

It’s probably the easiest order the kitchen has seen in years.

Lots of people thought it was a bit much for a dog but others pointed out that maybe it was a special treat for special circumstances.

One person said: ‘If you’ve ever had an ill or dying pet who can’t eat, none of this sounds over the top. I hand fed my dog w/ failing kidney disease specialized meals I cooked.

INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOUR PET: Dogs that have been spayed or neutered live longer than dogs who are intact.

‘If you have the ability to do it and they need it, what else are you gonna do?’

Another added: ‘Whenever I get a dog out of animal control (I’m a rescue volunteer), we drive thru McDonalds for a Rescue Burger (my name for it, not McD’s). Plain cheeseburger.

‘They always look at it in amazement. (Don’t worry, they get healthy food after that, but this treat builds trust.)’
