Most of us can recall a time when we pretended to be unwell to get something we wanted. If we think back to our childhoods, we can probably remember many such instances. Interestingly, this behavior isn’t exclusive to humans. While we often believe our pets are completely honest, they too can play along when it serves their interests.
A perfect example of this is found in a viral video featuring a dog named Mika, who was initially feeling under the weather. The video drew attention not because of her condition, but because of what happened next. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
It opens with a sad-looking Mika and the caption, “When Mika wasn’t feeling well and refused to play.” Concerned for her pet, the owner took Mika to the vet, believing something was wrong. However, upon arriving at the clinic, Mika’s demeanor changed completely. The caption reads, “New-found energy upon arriving at the animal hospital,” as she greets the vet with a big smile, proudly showing off her underbite.
When the owner, bewildered by Mika’s sudden transformation, asks what happened, the vet explains, “Mika is well and active; she’s likely faking an illness for treats…” It’s hard to say how the owner felt at that moment, having been outsmarted by her clever pup. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
The video quickly gained traction, resonating with many pet owners who shared similar experiences. Here are some of the standout comments: “I took my dog to the emergency vet because his belly was super hard and he didn’t want to move. Turns out he just needed to fart! 💨😂”
“Hendrix was limping all day at daycare. We made an appointment, but as soon as we arrived at the vet and a female poodle walked by, the limp vanished! 😳🥰” “As a vet tech, I see this all the time. We believe you, I promise! The best advice is to get pics/videos from home just in case! 😂😂” WATCH VIDEO BELOW
If the owner had known, she might have captured that moment on video. But as the saying goes, the best lessons come from our own experiences.
The good news? Mika is still feeling great! 😂 WATCH VIDEO BELOW
