Pup Faking Own Death? – Nah!

By now, this vid about the pup faking her own death has made it’s rounds on the web and in the main stream media. Although it’s fun to think the pup was truly faking her own death in play, (and maybe she really was!) mama dogs grab their pups by the scruff when rearing them, and the instinct is for the pup to go limp — makes it easier for mama to handle them and prevents pup injuries. I think this was just the pup’s vestigial pup instinct kicking in when the bigger pooch grabbed her neck, going limp ….none-the-less, I think pup and pal were still having some doggy fun…and it’s fun to imagine in our human fantasies pooch was “playing dead”….Either way, it’s a good chuckle….
