THE FRONT YARD Utah is known for its love of soda. From Swig to Sodalicious, it's easy to get your hands on a "dirty" Diet Coke a Diet Coke with coconut syrup, a lime and a splash of half and half.
Some Utahns have even started making their dirty Diet Cokes at home, splurging on pebble ice machines and ordering the syrups for themselves.
From time to time usually around Jan. 1 people have made a goal to steer away from the bubbly drink with different levels of success. One puppy in California decided to battle against soda just like those goal-oriented Utahns. But was it successful?
Gary, our 8 week old terrier foster puppy, takes on this innocent Diet Coke can in a fierce battle. It's the intersection of @darth and @jenntakahashi content, basically.

Gary, an 8-week-old dog, spotted a can of Diet Coke near his house and the battle commenced. After attempting and failing to fit the can in his mouth and defeat it by sheer force, Gary had to try a new strategy scaring it to death with his fierce bark.
Is this a case of a dog's bark being worse than its bite? I'm not sure. While Gary's owner thought Gary won, the can seems pretty intact to me.
Gary's unconquerable puppy spirit still remains after the battle, so for now we will say he was victorious. And for those of us still battling against Diet Coke, we can take inspiration from Gary's no-quit attitude. If the first strategy doesn't work, there's probably another way!
