Dog hilariously pretends to faint (Video)

And the award for the best actor goes to… If there was an award for “Best Acting By A Dog To Avoid Grooming” then this lovable Pit Bull would take top prize. The dog named Ginger showed off her dramatic talent in a video that is making its rounds on the Internet. This dog pretends to faint when his owner tried to clip his nails. The dog pulls a hilarious stunt when his owner brought out the nail clippers.

He is very well behaved but starts to look a little bit wary about what is going to happen when she presents him with the nail clippers. She asks for her paw but she needs some convincing to comply. First he ignores his owner until she takes his paw and gets ready to clip his nails. The dog, at his dramatic best, then falls backwards in slow motion, eyes wide open and legs up (don’t miss his sly side-eye at the end of the performance).

A oscar-worthy performance

In case you think she might be actually be fainting, Ginger has her eyes open the entire time and gives dad (the cameraman) a side eye, as if hinting to him that he’s ruining his act. The video was posted on social media and collected a whopping 5.9 million views. Watch the video, you will be impressed by the Oscar-worthy performance.
