Golden retriever puts on "fake smile": The reason makes everyone laugh
Net - Nala would do just about anything to avoid having to take her medication. The golden retriever has now made numerous viewers laugh with a clever trick.
In a viral video shared on the TikTok channel "golden_nala_bear", Nala's owner throws her pet a supposedly tasty snack.
The cute dog grabs the piece of bread in the air, but quickly realizes that there is a foreign object inside.
"Worm tablet hidden in the bread - sniffer dog activated", the clip says. Nala has come up with a funny strategy to avoid having to ingest the tablet.
Instead of swallowing her food, Nala pretends to smile at her owner. Meanwhile, she keeps the snack in her mouth so that she can spit it out when the opportunity arises.
The dog owner is already familiar with her golden retriever's trick from the past. Every time she is not looking, Nala spits out the tablet - and then acts afterwards as if nothing had happened.
Internet users laugh at Golden Retriever's clever trick
The video spread rapidly on social media and was commented on by numerous TikTok users. Many were particularly amused by the way Nala refuses to swallow the worming tablet.
In fact, dogs can become infected with worms in various ways, for example by eating raw meat or prey, through contaminated hosts such as fleas or through skin contact with other animals.
Your four-legged friend should be treated regularly for worms and fleas to prevent infection. If your dog does become infected, you should consult a vet as soon as possible. Different types of worms may require different treatment methods.
