The smart dog has developed a “groundbreaking” technique to convince its owner to go for a walk. He pretends to be a bruise on his paw to attract attention and achieve his goal. However, the video is already well known on the internet since it was first published in 2020. However, from time to time it attracts the attention of netizens.

In the images, the dog named Hairy is called by the owner. When he appears, he holds a paw, as if it were injured, to move a person from his place and make him decide to go for a walk.

When the owner enters the room and shows the leash to the animal, he instantly “gets better” and stops limping, wagging his tail, rejoicing at the opportunity to leave. The dog still pulls the chain with its mouth to reinforce the desire.

The video, which was originally published on Youtube, has already collected more than 12 million views. And although it was published in 2020, images often “win the favor” of the network. So much so that thousands of people commented on the situation. “My dog ​​has already tried this twice for attention,” said one person.

Another highlighted the fact that although this seems like a pure puppy persuasion technique, it is still important to watch for possible injuries. “I would be quite skeptical if I said that your dog is not feigning injury, but is actually just ignoring it in anticipation,” he noted.
