You would think that all dogs enjoy walks, but that isn’t the case. As a matter of fact, some canines dislike walks so much that they are prepared to turn to various tricks skip this kind of activity.
TikTok user Connor Yildirim recently shared a video on social media that shows his lazy pupper Eastie’s technique of avoiding walks.
In the clip, which was viewed 2.7 million times, Eastie can be seen walking around the house when she notices her dog walker arrived. Immediately, Eastie goes to her bed, curls up, and pretends to be asleep in hopes she will be left alone.
“My dog is so lazy and hates walks … watch her pretend to sleep when the dog walker came to get her today,” Yildirim wrote in the caption of the video.
Eastie’s behavior ended up delighting the internet, with TikTok users sharing their thoughts in the comments section.
“She’s like ah damn would you look at that, I’m asleep,” @emdeevee0 commented.
And apparently, Eastie isn’t the only walks-hating pupper out there.
“My English bulldog is the same. She trembles when we say the word ‘exercise,’” @daniellemunoz63 added.
Still, we hope Eastie ended up dropping her act and went for a walk. This activity is important for the well-being of dogs as it helps them exercise, release excess energy, and cure boredom.
