Goose, a dog, made the world laugh after his owner caught him faking illness to receive food.
On Monday, @golden_goose7 posted a TikTok video of the dog appearing depressed, lethargic, and limping, leading his owner to give him additional care and take him to the clinic. It was all a ruse.
"The vet prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs after failing to diagnose a problem. After his work trip, dad returned early. All pain vanished! "My plan worked."
A 2018 study indicated dogs can recognize human emotions. In the study, scientists showed canines photographs of people exhibiting happiness, grief, surprise, rage, fear, disgust, and a neutral face.
While the dogs stared at the photographs, scientists measured their heart rates and stress levels. Fear, rage, and delight elicited a stronger response.
