[CallMeAvocado]

Too cute

[jakiblu1]

That is too cute.

[KaleeCali]

0:20 " Are they calling an ambulance? Oh shit they're looking - better lay back down."

[oOMissiaOo]

xD She looks up to see if she buys it. LAWL.

[DJ101303]

*GET BITE*..... and falls LOL [;

[TheOfficialShasp]

This makes me so happy. I revisit it often.

[tunstt]

What a great acting performance from the dog, should have won an Oscar, very funny,kept us in laughter for hours on end

[meocon254]

what type of dog is that?

[Superkuh2]

@meocon254 English setter, probably.

[gregorybair]

Drama queen

[stcheeve]

@tomkendallz What the hell are you talkin about go learn something... You wont learn anything on reddit idiot

[duchesslove04]

this is a very simple trick: sumission... he/she is playing with his/her mother. Moms use their bite in their puppy's neck to make him/ her know that she is the boss. :)

nothing like mom's power ;)

[Secretiro]

jajajajajajaja

[BlitzkriegBR]

Thumbs up if you think people who ask for thumbs up are gay.

[pidgeblev]

How do I get her to be so dramatic? Lol

[CrystalPerfect09]

omg! lol! BRAVO!!!

[Armenhotep]

The Oscar goes to........

XD

[tumbielovely1]

so funny

[tomkendallz]

Actually looks more like cardiovascular syncope to me. The dog stiffens and goes down harder than I would expect for a submissive roll. The result is a momentary fainting spell. The woman in this video is chuckling, but she shouldn't. Her dog has heart disease.

- reddit

[ItsADarkKnight2nite]

@tomkendallz Really? The dog looks up and around...then quickly jumps back up and starts running again. It didn't look like she fainted.

[23Nellie1]

That is sooo cute!

[SuperBromander]

That puppies' a spaaah.

[Magnollia13]

I loved this! We have had 3 setters, they are smart and all around great dogs.

[TheAvivon]

[saxylarry26]

Yeah dogs are smarter than we think. That mutt's downright SLICK.

[cindysue50]

[TheObenone]

It's incredible...

[monkeymatt2]

AHHHHH ZOMBIE DOG!!!!

[tasti2u2]

[Hayleymarie202]

That was so cute bro

[biloxipinto62]

As many times as I have seen this.. I laugh eveytime. I thought that was just the funniest thing ever.

[Kwiattwins]

Dropped dead like a wombat

[8w9hf89hw]

This dog is exactly like my old dog, she was the most submissive being on the planet.

She also had a huge clit.

[SeizureBobcat]

That's what happens when you shop at the melodramatic pet store

[navysgurl09]

@MikeGasm I don't know, the fur looks too short and the tail too long to be a springer... More ticking than most springers too.

[AchiandAngel]

this is adorable!! so cute!

[navysgurl09]

Is she an English setter?

[MikeGasm]

@navysgurl09 looks like an english springer

[altspacecadet]

awww this is beyond adorable, she's a clown :D

[heykayde]

Sooo funny! Love how the pup not only looks up for a split second to see if the other dog fell for it, but put it's head back down again. And how did it manage to make "the death" seem like it was in slow motion? haha. You got to get that dog to Hollywood! Adorable!

[LoveAngel3991]

that is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCODZoneHD]

lol thats funny

[laurielloyd]

drama queen BOL

[weirdoguy]

[G0ldvein]

Fruckling cute Xd

[leuigirl]

Wow, What a little cutie. So what do ya supose the other dog is think'n ha ha ha

[utubelad100]

[Lovely213Fanny]

That's was so cute

[redthunda1]

[JynxxyDoll]

@JodieeHartOfficial lol, definitely

[AW832]

C U T E!!

[peaceout316302]

So cute!

[starluv2]

she mustve hurt herself from falling so hard..or maybe scratched or cute herself from falling hard..

[Sketch1313]

So funny :D

[tonidaring]

Um, that's dominance play. The pup is showing acknowledgement of the dog's authority in response to a (playful) nip to the throat - not playing dead.

[ColoradoDogTrainer]

Respond to this video... 893,000 viewers and finally someone with some common sense and understanding of dog play and behavior, thumbs up to you @tonidaring!!

[MissWooHoo1]

fucken genius dog

[PapomanResurrect]

llewllin setters! Thats my dog love that dog

[sicklax326]

I can't believe people think this dog was trained to do this. My folks own the puppy's nephew and are very close with the owners. This is purely a coincidence and a dog working on instinct. Great pointers too!

[TheNewAmericanMedia]

Very very funny!

[shrekipep1]

HaHaHa, loved it. HYSTERICAL. I had a kitten once who loved to play hide and seek. I'd hide and my kitten would find me, BUT, jump out in front of me with paws spread wide on its hind feet as if saying, SURPRISE! Hahaha........

[fartmanx]

CNN sucks. Great video of your dog though. Love it.

[DuFFMaN7D7]

fucken hate wen people ask4 thumbs up

[alexisheartsmyhair]

THIS was on the news in florida

[bobjshore]

Amazing dog!!!

[RJAspmm1]

Thumbs up if Icanhascheezburger brought you here!

[bugg53]

lmao ...send this to the Today Show ....that is hilarious .....they'd love it !

[jhkooku]

That dog took a lesson from ronaldo!!!

[ztzgsmith]

you're all idiots, the puppy is just playing, it's cute, it's funny, it's not fake or staged or a medical condition, jeez!

[88blockNS]

This is either a case of narcolepsy to epilepsy. Take it to the vet ASAP!

[EvangelinePerkins]

That dog is a very good actor.

[QuentinWBuetow]

"A form of epilepsy"??? Fucking PLEASE ... that's a trick undoubtedly taught to that dog by its owner OR just as I've read before elsewhere, a means of showing submission to the other dog. If it was epilepsy, the dog would be seizing.  Fucking DUH. Instead, the dog CLEARLY raises it's MILLISECONDS after falling down ... almost in a "Hey, did y'all catch what I did, Mom & Dad? Cool, right?" moment.

Alarmist, ignorant reactionaries, I swear to God.

[mannyftw]

@QuentinWBuetow It wasn't milliseconds, it was at least a solid second. My neighbor had a dog that had epilepsy and it would do the same thing when it got overexcited. Seize up real quick, fall over, and slowly regain movement back until it totally got it back. Then it got out one day and got run over.

[QuentinWBuetow]

@mannyftw - At least you were polite in your comment(s). While you have your opinion - and I can freely give respect to you - I still disagree. Watch the video again. There is no - NONE - indication of any kind of a cerebral seizure event. It's called "playing dead". But again, you're entitled to your thoughts. I'm just simply stating my own opinion of the video based upon my many years as a pet owner and animal husbandry student / vet assistant.

[mannyftw]

@QuentinWBuetow Well there's nothing else to add, but I would like to extend my gratitude to you for replying in an admirable fashion. We all have our opinions, and in the end we probably won't change each others' minds, but thank you for not throwing a shitfit about my conflicting opinion and replying in an adult manner. I live on a farm and have a lot of experience with animals, but it's not a "vet assistant' education like yours. In any sense I hope you're right for the dog's sake.

[DarkEmanation]

@QuentinWBuetow Alarmist, ignorant reactionaries? That's quite the overreaction.  The author of that quote could be right. My opinion is narcolepsy (quite a few examples documented; they're utterly adorable hah). But some sort of neural disorder wouldn't be that odd. Quentin, you're a damn hypocrite.

[QuentinWBuetow]

@DarkEmanation

"A damn hypocrite" .... um, maybe YOU should look up the definition of a "hypocrite", DarkEmanation.

hypocrite

[hip-uh-krit]

1.

a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2.

a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

[QuentinWBuetow]

@DarkEmanation - Contrary to your seeming ignorance of the word, DarkEmanation, *I* am most certainly *NOT* a hypocrite. I stand 100% behind my words and thoughts on this matter. And I think my own personal experiences as not only a pet owner, but also as a pet shelter volunteer, vet's assistant, AND a former animal husbandry student lend significantly more impetus to my thoughts on the matter than your own futile attempts to make me look like ... well, whatever it is you're hoping to achieve.

[QuentinWBuetow]

@DarkEmanation - And so ... you're dismissed. BUH-BYE.

[AggieNC]

I saw her stunt on HLN's "Morning Express with Robin Meade."

[BradTheProducer]

@AggieNC Just because a lazy reporter for CNN tells you to spam her name in Youtube comments doesn't mean you should actually do it.

[AggieNC]

@BradTheProducer Doesn't mean I should either. Just letting the folks know how far this video is going.

[1212Wolfboy]

lol that was soooooooooooooooooooooooo cuite >)

[Wulfgardson]

Ahhhh! You got me! (falls over)

(jumps up barking)

ha ha! fooled ya! 

[proent]

lol how would a dog even discover how to play dead like that

[mario23800]

lol nice dog actors lol XD

[geedoctor]

It's possible that the playful bite stimulated the carotid bulb which can increase vagal tone and cause fainting. That's the most probable explanation.

[ZombieSuperhero1]

That was not epilepsy. That's pure playing using previous training.

[lovepinkari]

more vids

[EnzoCheLatino]

When's the next World Cup? This pup has already mastered football.

[edwinzuniga123]

you have the best camera ever.

[Hanamichi101]

wow... pro acting dog xD

[EpicRainbow610]

TRUE STORY: When I was 9, my puppy faked its own death so well that my mom took it to some farm where all good-at-fake-dying puppies go. It's been 17 years... I wonder when I'm gonna see Sprinkles again!

[revspeed858]

It's so freaking funny & too cute! Love how his whole body just tips over!!!

[bugg53]

@wjgonzalez1

[dbeetz1]

@bugg53 a bomb sniffing what?, and blind seeing what? yeah those statements end in dog, and they are very smart haha

[wjgonzalez1]

It looks like the dog has Addison's disease. That was a seizure.

[JMcH]

It's the Vulcan nerve pinch!

[redhacikPL]

[melliez43]

[Vegabond13]

I love interwebz medikal ekspertz

[zeze40video]

Silverfoils - That is exactly what it is. He had a type of seizure.

[ColoradoDogTrainer]

@zeze40video No siezure I know this dog well,  as I am the trainer, sorry just a game

[sgfulton1983]

Are you sure this isn't a soccer player's dog who taught it how to flop from little to no contact whatsoever?

[The4x4gal]

LOL!!!

[drofferni]

[Breakingangels]

Petrificus Totalus!

[Ifigenia98]

[RonRonRonWeasIey]

32 people's dogs weren't faking.

[KyleeANDsydLIVE]

Funniest video ever! I seen it on GMA (good morning America) this morning it is such a funny video.

[TheDaringdave]

Great video,and really fun to watch a happy dog that will never have to endure the comments made by high brow know it alls.

[Jackdrinker1313]

Beautiful English setters

[PugMama12]

@Jackdrinker1313

I have an English Setter.  They are extremely energetic and dramatic. And gorgeous!

[HaNsEL091]

its called playing dead

[kalyankurkure]

I think Its Bolt coz he is a actor :D

[Goseegaby]

Love your dogs.. Great video

[anggelicaps]

Pôneis Malditos Pôneis Malditos lalalalalalalalalalala (8)

[renakiller]

What a great actor!

[gregbish]

The pup that plays dead.....I had an english setter exactly like that! A wonderful dog. Lived 16 1/2 hears.

[KaneHusky]

This is called Myotonia Congenita, NOT "faking death!" Domesticated dogs lack the ability to comprehend how "faking death" fools predators in the sense that humans understand it. This is most likely a genetic neuromuscular channelopathy known as Myotonia Congenita, aka "fainting goat syndrome."

[Anonymous01959]

@KaneHusky I looked it up if the pup has myatonia it will go away when she reaches adulthood. Breed predilection:

Chow chow

Cocker spaniel

Golden retriever

Irish terrier

Miniature schnauzer

Pit bull terrier

Samoyed

Stafford shire terrier

West highland white terrier

[ColoradoDogTrainer]

@KaneHusky I know this dog and its owner very well. I am the a professional trainer and s not Myotonea Congentia, pure play time sorry your online diagnosis is wrong. Are you a vet?? I f you are, I would very very skeptical after your diagnosis!!

[ksch2701]

the dog is so dramatic. he could be an actor :D funny

[ferd617]

@shaneke09 Dammit, I was all set to thumbs-up YOUR comment. (The epidemic of pathetic "thumbs up if..." comments is the second-most irritating trend on YouTube, second only to the endless, predictable, unoriginal theories about "[# of dislikes] people...".) But then you had to go and throw that "fags" in there, which just isn't cool.

[Mrtolore]

The upload is shit

[rachitratchet]

thumbs up



[tygress66]

Thumbs up if you love English setters and especially fun puppies who ham it up for the camera!

[lilsexychula20]

this is 2 cute, I love it :)

[mmm5008]

adorei 

[basenjiZZ]

That's just great and is joyful to watch! Thanks for posting this video.

[85lookatmenow]

Silverfoils, you're an idiot.

[TerrieJ4]

That is priceless!

[CalleLotus]

Hilarious! That totally made my day

[mrclayslinger]

LMAO every time I view this puppy... what a character!

[silverfoils]

Don't mean to scaremonger, but that looks like a form of epilepsy. We have seen it before. Please check with your vet. Best wishes.

[tubewerkz]

@silverfoils Just becos u're suffering from disease doesnt mean a dog has too,button mushroom!

[silverfoils]

@tubewerkz Oh dear. Your life must be quite miserable. Hope it picks up for you.

[tubewerkz]

@silverfoils My life is miserable and I love it.Don pick anything up for me.

[devoidchess]

@silverfoils What are the odds that this would be the very first time they found out about that? There are a number of indications in the clip that show the puppy is clearly playing:

-She chose the exact moment that the older dog delivered a playful nip to her neck to feign dieing.

-While she was down she gave a sly look to see if the humans were watching her.

-She sprung back to bouncing puppy again when she got up. If she was suffering from the effects of a seizure I doubt she could. etc.
