Dog PLAYS DEAD to Avoid Going Home While Park Crowd Watches | The Dodo 

Thumbs this up if this dog is your definition of persistence!

Guy: "girls don't pay attention to me anymore." Doggo: "say no more."

the fact they all clapped when he got up at the end was adorable.

That dog acted like a human child when they don’t wanna leave the toy store XD

"excuse me sir you're dog is broken" that line had me

Dog moves Everyone: yay(claps) Dog stop 6ft later and repeats

viewers : "awww this is hilarious and cute" comments : "I feel that guy"

He doesn't walk his dog, his dog walks him.

As someone with social anxiety, this right here would put me in a nervous sweat

I love the fact that he loves his owner too much to let him leave alone. "Yes I love the park but I love you more."

*The fact that everyone around started clapping at the end makes it heartwarming*

"You can't make me go, there's witnesses!"

Dog should win an Oscar for that performance. He had the audience hooked. Didn’t get the standing ovation but the cheering was well deserved.

Social Anxiety: *Exists Dog: Your free trial of living has ended.

Owner : How do I get ladies to look at me. Doggo : Say no more.

I love how at the end he was like " He's bluffing, He's bluffing... HEY WAIT!!!

I love the crowd starts cheering as he starts to walk

He opened up to his dog about being socially anxious and that morning, his dog decided to help.

my beagle has done that so many times. Once a couple stopped in their car and offered assistance. They thought he had been hit by a car. I told them no, he 's just being a jerk

This Dog is an introvert's worst dream

The dog is NOT playing dead. This is passive resistance. He learned it in the 60s.

hahahaha "And then everyone clapped' actually happened. That was hilarious.

Imagine being socially awkward just trying to get home and your dog does this and everyone stares at you💀

Hooman: okay time to go home Dog: so anyway i started dying

Cute. The owner had absolutely no idea that when he walks away looking at his pet, the dog knows it's still in control. Had he just unleashed him and not looked back when he walked away, like he did the first time and the last time, the dog would have followed him. But wow, the patience he had with this adorable pup was Saintly. 🏆 He must really ❤ him!

The dog is like, "you may run things at home but in this park I'm the king."

Guy tries to take his dog home: The whole park: 👁 👄 👁

Dog: plays dead Tail: *I've never agreed to this*

I find it absolutely wholesome how the whole crowd cheered at the dog when he finally decided to move

Him taking off the collar is the equivalent of my mom saying ‘I’m gonna leave you here if you don’t hurry up!’ Worked every time😂

The shy introvert in me would have a panic attack with all these ppl staring.

My social anxiety would never be able to handle this.

Lol, I can totally relate. My goldendoodle Barley Barker used to do this to me when he didn't want to leave a place. He was a therapy dog, and it was especially hard if he decided he didn't want to leave a facility we were visiting. Awkward for me, but people were happy that he didn't want to leave them. He was 90 pounds, so I couldn't pick him up. I had to use the same tactics as this guy in the video (i.e., drop the leash and pretend to leave him). It was always kind of alarming to walk away from Barley, but he'd eventually follow me. He died this past July from hemangiosarcoma, and he would have turned 14 next week. I miss him so much, though I'm grateful to have had nearly 14 years with him. The blessings from dogs outweigh the occasional embarassment.

Everyone in the crowd is finding this cute, meanwhile if this was me I would be sweating bullets 😭😂😂😂

You can't control me mister, I'm cute and these grass peopple love me.

David Attenborough needs to narrate this. "The man attempts to assert his dominance, but the alpha dog will have none of it."

Just beautiful to see that everyone I could see n hear in this video was so good natured and that everyone understood the dogs protest about leaving the park before he was ready. A very wholesome moment ❤

The dog is just like a toddler who doesn’t want to leave the park, except the dog isn’t kicking and screaming 😂

Funny how he took the leash off and the dog was trying to call his bluff.

Puppy knew where the food comes from. That was cute.

How to get famous: Be an artist Break a world record Do weird stuff The dog: *play dead*

Owner: I got a social anxiety disorder Dog: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Wish people cheered on me like they do in the end when I get up from the bed.

As an introvert, I would literally never go to that back again

Plot twist : Dog is his therapist helping him overcoming social anxiety

"You learned this from the cat didn't you?"

Me: I have anxiety and panic attacks when I am around people Therapist: Get a dog 🐕 Dog:

Dogs are definitely a gift from above. Absolutely beautiful characters.

Can we just appreciate the guy not pulling on the dog? He's so patient

Probably the best part is the eruption of applause from the people in the park once the dog actually moves to follow its owner

“excuse me sir, i think your dog is broken”

I love how ppl are still lovin this video 5 years later!!! I was amazed to see him capture a crowd's attention so quickly!

I love the part where everyone cheers for the dog finally getting up and he starts wagging his tail in excitement in reaction to them. He was clearly playing the crowd, and it was adorable. He's not the first dog to play that move at the park, and he won't be the last.

It's so weird seeing people that close to each other

I could imagine the owner saying: don’t make me disown you

I would be so embarrassed and just lift the dog and get the hell away from that place. 🤣🤣🤣

Legends say he has never returned to that park with his dog again.

Bruh I have social anxiety, I would’ve just laid down with the dog.

That moment when your "kid" acts out in public. With many many witnesses. 🤣🤣 That poor man! Lol!

That dog just made everyone's day. 😊

My golden did the exact same thing. She was so stubborn at times that you had to physically pick her up. She's no longer with us. Thank you for this memory.

Dam I feel bad to that guy, just imagine getting stared by the whole park

I've watched this 10+ times and it always makes me happy

As someone who is socially awkward and has had multiple obstinate golden retrievers I can confirm these moments are hell.

Dog: Don't worry everybody will forget in a year. RU-vid after 3 years :

Owner: That was horrible, almost a hundred people were staring at me. RU-vid: 29 million views....

I love how the good doggy knew that when dad walked away it was just an empty threat 😂❤️

"Excuse me sir, I think your dog is broken" That caught me completely off guard! Best quote in the video

He’s like “if u abuse me to go home I have witnesses”😂😂

I love this guy .. no aggression or impatience, no pulling too hard on the leash, just love and patience for his dog 💕 well done!

This is hilarious poor dad, Loved the cheer at the end I was just waiting on the dog to give a bow! He obviously enjoys his visits to the park. 😂

as a person with social anxiety, this would break me lol

The dog's an entertainer. That guy will never get bored with the dog around.

Guess who's not going to the park tomorrow 😤

He definitely was very calm and patient with his dog. Glad to see a dog owner that understands his dog and knows how to work with him.

The dog to the owner: You have no power here

No one: That one guy: sir I think your dogs broken 😂

"No, I don't want to go home! I want to stay here!!"

Nobody: Some other dude: Excuse me sir, I think your dog is broken.

Don't underestimate the sense awareness of the animal, that dog knows he was being admired, and then, when he decided to get up and walk, and the applause started, it appeared as if he was going to turn back.

Dog: no, these people chose me. I am their rightful leader of this park. I need to stay with my people. Human: ...bro.

Golden Retriever: 20% cuteness + 80% shamelessness + 100% “I’m just happy to be here”

TOO MANY NICE PEOPLE MY HEART CANT TAKE IT

That's why my ideal dog is under 50lbs - if it breaks down, I can just carry it home.

It is impossible not to love these fury friends!

“Time to go” Dog: “no I don’t think I will”

Plot twist: The dog is a trained performer and the owner was putting on a show

Reminds me of when I lived in Boston and took 7 shots at a parallel parking spot before I got it. It was in front of a crowded glass front restaurant and I got a standing ovation. Diners, wait staff, chefs, bussers, everyone.

I like to imagine that after the crowd cheered the dog, he came back for an encore.

I didn’t realize how many people were actually watching there until they started cheering at the end 🤭

A true introvert would just pick up the dog and hippity hop out of there 😂 (at least, that's what I would do)

*excuse me sir, i think your dog is broken*

Notice how it's good vibes all around. This dog managed to brighten a whole lot of peoples day. All the while making his owner look like a real sweetheart. So it's a win-win-win situation. The dog wins, the owner wins and the crowd wins.

Plot Twist: He and his dog have trained for this to pick up girls.

*Hooman:* You know, I'm something of an Introvert myself. *Doggo:* _Allow me to introduce myself._

Great moment!

Proof that animals have feelings and souls.

Owner: For second time, let's go! Dog: I'm trying to help you. That cute girl sitting right there likes you!

Dogs know they will win in the end,he reminds me of an unruly child in a shop when their mum won't give in to their demands.

I have a golden retriever, her name’s Firefly. When this happens, I just have to accept defeat. By that I mean, pick her up and carry her the rest of the way.
