He Told His Pit Bull To “Play Dead” — And Then? I Almost Died Laughing!

Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks never met Brody the pit bull.

According to his owner, Brody learned how to "play dead" in 20 minutes. In this video, the adorable dog shows off his latest trick: his uncanny ability to play dead when his owner says "bang" and pretends to shoot him. The only thing that gives him away is that happy wagging tail!

While his performance might not quite be Oscar-worthy (like this dramatic little Chihuahua's), Brody is still too cute for words. When he performs the trick, this pit bull dramatically drops to the ground and even leaves his tongue hanging out. You can't help but laugh at his valiant effort — even his owner is left in stitches. After performing the trick, he's rewarded with a special treat.

Lots of dogs can play dead, but have you ever seen such a cute and convincing act as Brody the pit bull?

Despite being given a reputation for being vicious and mean, pit bulls can make very sweet and loyal family dogs. From cuddling with cute kittens to snuggling up with newborn babies, most pit bulls — when raised properly in a loving home — are amazing pets.

Pit bulls are one of the most misunderstood dog breeds in the world, but it's easy to see that they make the best companions and want to make their owners happy.
