Kansas City, Missouri - For a dog owner, there's nothing more concerning than seeing your pet in pain – so when it seemed like Maple the golden retriever had a serious problem with her paw, her humans started fretting. Little did they know their canine companion was just being a big drama queen!

In a viral TikTok video documenting the dramatic day, Maple's parents first notice that their beloved pooch might have a problem with her right front paw, which she mostly keeps off the ground.

The problem becomes more apparent as time goes on, with the golden retriever developing a very pronounced limp and clearly having issues putting any kind of weight on her limb. Getting slapped around by Waffles the cat probably doesn't help!

By this point, Maple's owners are naturally worried. They call the veterinarian, but with no openings available, they can only observe the problem and make sure it doesn't get worse.

As it turns out, things are actually about to get much better for the dramatic dog!

All it took for Maple's troubles to disappear is some light rain and a strong case of the zoomies!

As the clip shows, she's frolicking around in the backyard later on the same day, with no limp in sight.

Having "acted pathetic" for hours, the handsome hound suddenly made a miraculous recovery!

"She came back in the house and she was totally fine! No more limping! Chalked it up to her being dramatic," one of Maple's humans told Newsweek.

Having already cried wolf, that's probably not a trick she can pull off twice!
