A Chihuahua is currently causing a lot of smiles on TikTok.
The clever puppy pretends that he is not feeling well - but his behavior has been learned.
Sometimes her dog is a little "actor," as the Chihuahua puppy owner demonstrates in a million-viewed video on TikTok.
The video shared under the username Hermes_and_madi shows a cute scene that many other dog owners can easily relate to.
When communicating with the Chihuahua named “Hermes”, the dog owner pretends to the four-legged friend to fall for his popular scam – only at the end of the clip does she outwit the cute puppy.
The scene causes a lot of smiles on TikTok.
Puppy wraps mistress around her finger – video on TikTok viewed millions of times
This is what happens in the cute dog video that thousands of users have commented on on TikTok: The intelligent puppy tries to draw the attention of its mistress by repeatedly lifting its front paw and whimpering softly at its owner when she hits him makes a corresponding sound and tilts his head back.
This gives him the impression that he has something on his paw and in this way he gets all the more pats.

This seemingly never-ending interplay between the owner and her dog ends abruptly when the woman suggests taking him outside.
"Do you want to go with us?" You can hear the dog owner say in the video.
After that, all you can see is how the little Chihuahua suddenly jumps up to get along with his mistress as quickly as possible - and in doing so has forgotten his supposed pain in one fell swoop.
The users on TikTok are visibly impressed by the clever little guy.
Here is a selection of the comments:
"Help, my dog is like that."
🥺🤍🤍
"Chihuahuas are so dramatic, I love them."
"Real actor 😂"
"He's the best 🥰🥰🥰"
"Chihuahuas are all Oscar-winning actors and no one will tell me otherwise."
"That's the cutest thing I've seen all day."
Many dog owners also report that they have already experienced something similar with their four-legged friend.
In the case of "Hermes" it quickly becomes clear that this is a learned behavior in communication between the owner and her dog.
The two seem to be a very well-rehearsed team, as the heartwarming scene proves.

Is your dog not well?
If behavior changes, consult a veterinarian
It's different when a dog is really in pain or not feeling well.
Any change in behavior, no matter how small, that could indicate this should be taken seriously by dog owners.
Evidence that the four-legged friend is suffering from pain can be, for example, a changed posture, whimpering or whining.
Dog owners should always listen carefully to the signals of their little four-legged friends.

Even if your four-legged friend seems to lack energy or appetite, no longer wants to be petted or can't sleep as well as usual at night, you should be alarmed and consult a veterinarian in any case.
