Watch: This dog's ‘god-level’ acting will make you demand Oscar for it

A video that has surfaced on social media shows a dog pretending to be dead to prevent getting mauled by another bigger, healthier dog.

The video begins with a dog lying on the ground, completely unmoved and acting dead, as it is dragged by another dog (who’s tied to a chain). The aerial shot of the entire incident shows the bigger dog trying to desperately check on the smaller dog and see if it's worth attacking it. However, the smaller dog remains resolute and motionless all this while and doesn’t give in.

It almost gives the viewer a feeling that the dog is dead and is just despairingly being revived back to life.

As the video goes on, a man pulls the leg of the smaller dog and stretches it away. The moment it is stretched away from the bigger dog, it springs back to life, stands on its hind legs and walks away behaving like nothing happened. The other dog, tied to a chain, shocked by what it just witnessed barks at the smaller dog.


The clip was posted on Twitter with a caption that reads, “More acting skills than half of Bollywood combined.”

It went viral, garnering over 6000 views. Netizens found the video funny and reacted with memes.

A user posted a meme that read, "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie."
