'Ultimate Dog Tease' takes Internet by storm

By Lorrie Shaw

Anyone who has spent time with a dog knows how expressive they can be when trying to communicate with humans, especially when they want something.

Some pooches are more expressive than others, thanks to their natural facial expressions and markings, and it can be really funny to watch when they are in action.

A recent video circulating on the Internet highlights just how expressive a dog can be, with comedic results.

The video was created by splicing in a voice track over an original video, featuring the pooch at the center of the attention — Clark Griswold — which is funny all by itself. Click here to view the original.

Clark is convincingly portrayed as a dog aghast at the idea of being teased by yummy food — but then again, what dog wouldn't?

I showed this to my husband, who doesn't usually find these type of videos amusing, but he laughed so hard he was crying. I suppose what tickled him the most was this dog's expression looks so much like our dog when he's trying to get our attention if we're eating.

spm: I can relate. Our Gretchen is extremely expressive as well. The funniest dog video ever, I think. Thanks for your comment!

Best. Video. Ever. I don't know anyone who was able to just watch this once -- it's an instant "rewatch"....
