German Shepherd Puppy Deserves An Oscar For Playing Dead

This tiny German shepherd puppy takes on the old dog playing dead trick to a whole new level of cuteness.

In this video, the adorable dog shows off his latest trick: he's developed an uncanny ability to play dead when his owner points his fingers and says "bang." On cue, the cute puppy shows off his superb acting skills.

This dog needs an Oscar for this performance, and he reminds me quite a bit of this dramatic little Chihuahua.

When his owner "shoots" with his fingers, this German shepherd puppy throws its head back dramatically and falls "lifeless" to the floor and rolls on his back. He even leaves his tongue hanging out and puts his paw over his face. He gives a pretty convincing performance. The puppy is too cute for words.

You can’t help but laugh at his valiant effort. After performing the trick, he’s rewarded with a special treat.

I wonder how this dog and his dad came up with this trick? I am sure they are constantly impressing people with his hilarious skill — don't you think? Lots of dogs can play dead, but have you ever seen such a cute and convincing act?
