Dog Plays Dead So She Doesn’t Have To Leave The Park

Home may be where the heart is, but it’s not where the park is, as this tenacious pooch seems to know all too well.

Over the weekend, people enjoying a day of sunshine and fresh air at a popular outdoor area in Australia were treated to a charming exhibition of canine misbehavior. They couldn’t seem to get enough of it.

A park-goer took this video. Kristen Bohlsen depicts a guy engaged in a lovely standoff with his plainly strong-willed canine companion. The dog’s owner expresses his desire for them to go, but his pet has other ideas. Rather than giving in to the gentle tugs on her leash and returning home, she decides to fight back, rolling on her back and pretending to be dead in front of the excited throng.
