The term ‘puppy face’ may have been coined sometime in history when a doggo probably won over its owner by subtly faking an illness or injury.
Recently we came across a dog who faked a broken leg just to get people’s attention.
After finding out how he fools people with his innocent act, we tried to find more such instances where dogs completely baffled their owners with their method acting.
1. Like this one fellow who keeps falling on the ground when its pack-leader comes closer for grooming the dog’s paws.

3. Sometimes they act when they want to get things done and don’t want to do it by themselves.
My dog is a drama queen. He can literally jump on the highest chair we have and then on the table but he’s too dramatic to get down and bring his cover on his own. pic.twitter.com/j1MQQOsd9z

4. And can also lay dead until you decide to pay attention.

5. The ‘completely laying stiff’ act is what these puppers have learned to perfection.
My dog does this weird thing where she lays down completely stiff, like she's dead, and every time I try to catch her she hops up by the time the camera loads. I finally caught her in the act😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/ku8B6gDEu3

7. They might do it for attention, just like this one here.
Took my dog to the vet last Friday because he jumped up and landed wrong, only for the vet to tell me that he’s fine and was faking it for attention 🙃🙃🙃 pic.twitter.com/MZFgB11yvK

8. Only a Taco-call could wake this dog up when she was sleeping. But was she really sleeping?
This dog was deadass faking being asleep until I asked if she wanted a taco. Is this a joke? pic.twitter.com/TWxb5THInb

9. Or is this dog really limping? We don’t think so.

10. One thing that we know for sure – dogs get very very jealous!
11. They can also repeat sounds, like that of an ambulance or fire truck.
Hello my dogs are drama queens when the siren goes by , just letting you all know. pic.twitter.com/D1OSv5xwpF

12. When mommy’s not around, you just gotta roll.
And this, Internet, is how my poor, neglected dog acts when mom has to work and can’t pet him literally every second of the day. Link: the hero of drama. pic.twitter.com/z2qQtM9oMK

13. Look at this golden retriever drag the puppy away. Indeed dramatic.
14. These adorable doggos are totally the nominees for this time’s Oscar awards.
15. Certainly, the doggo doesn’t like going to the vet.
16. When a doggo says no, it means no. How adorable!
17. And guilty dogs are twice as adorable. You will find the culprit just by looking at their face.
18. While some crave attention, others act abruptly when you try to cuddle with them.
19. Some little ones just want to avoid going for walks.
20. Last but not the least, an angry husky who won’t look at her mommy but can’t resist when her mom sings her favourite song.
Numerous MRI scans have found that dogs respond equally to food and praise, meaning they can feel emotions.
Further, The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy — and Why They Matter, a book by Marc Bekoff, explains that emotions are what cause your dog to behave differently in different situations.
