A TikTok user shared a funny video of a playful dog pretending to be injured in Guimaras Island.
In a video posted by TikTok user @urrramazing on November 24, a dog is seen crawling low to the ground using only its front legs, appearing injured — until it suddenly stands up and walks normally, revealing the prank.
“Dog caught my attention and I feel sad. But she’s just flexing,” the text in the video reads.
According to the author, the dog repeated the act after their boat arrived, allowing the moment to be captured on video.
The video has so far garnered 98,400 views, 5,671 likes, 815 comments and 248 bookmarks.
Many viewers commented that they initially felt sad for the dog, only to realize the joke after watching the full video.
“Mangiyak-ngiyak na [ako] [kakatapos ko lang] sa mama dog na basag ang mukha [tapos] pag scroll ko aso na naman [tapos] it’s a prank pala,” one commented.
“Te bumalik luha ko na papatak,” a TikTok user said.
“Paiyak na ako talaga [insert face holding back tears emoji) pero (laugh emoji),” another commented.
“Awang awa pa man din ako eh,” one also said.
The uploader responded that the dog’s drama was “effective.”
