Dog owner pretends to fall asleep with food in his hand – and one pup hilariously fails the test!

Miami, Florida – Michael Brown from Miami recently put his two dogs, Cactus and Cowboy, through a cruel test. He pretended to be asleep while holding a tasty yogurt in his hand. The result is now making countless people laugh!

In the quirky clip, Cactus is up first. The three‑year‑old four‑legged friend sits on the sofa next to his owner, who is still wide awake. Casually, Brown circles his yogurt around Cactus' nose, then pretends to get sleepy.

Eventually, the tester's eyes start to droop. Cactus immediately becomes jittery, repeatedly glancing at the yogurt and then back at his owner.

Brown ups the ante by apparently moving the yogurt toward the poor pup while pretending to be asleep. Cactus remains skeptical.

Then it happens: Brown suddenly starts snoring.

At that point, his dog finally loses interest – and collapses.

Believing that Brown is actually fast asleep, the dog sticks his snout into the yogurt cup. It's the moment of truth.

Suddenly, the owner snaps awake as if by magic and grins at his furry friend: caught!

Meanwhile, the situation looks completely different for puppy Cowboy.

In his case, the experiment lasts barely a second. The youngster darts straight for the yogurt – regardless of whether Brown is sleeping.

Even when the man laughs and pulls the cup away, the cheeky dog simply climbs onto him and keeps slurping.

"Well it's pretty evident who needs to work on building their patience up!" Brown jokes in the caption of the video.

In just a few days, the clip has already racked up around 800,000 views. Watching Brown and his dogs is just plain fun!
