Although the Oscar Awards are months away, we have found one dramatic performance that deserves, as a bare minimum, a nomination. This past week one Pitbull owner uploaded a video of her dog’s reaction to having to get its nails clipped, and the theatrics were hysterical. Entitled “The world’s most dramatic Pitbull“ on Reddit, we can’t help but think maybe The Academy should think about creating an animal category…
A Not So Pawsitive Pampering
Just as humans need (or at least, SHOULD) trim their nails regularly, dogs need some grooming too. For most, a trip to the salon to get a manicure is an fun, relaxing affair. Yet for this pooch, when its owner asks for its paw to trim its nails, the look on the Pitbull’s face turns to complete side-eye annoyance. We didn’t know that dogs could give side-eye either, but this one sure proves they can!
When it is clear that the Pitbull is not going to comply to the request, the owner reaches for the paw, and this is when the theatrics truly begin. As the dog’s eyes instantly widen, it then begins to fall…
An Oscar Worthy Faint
Yes, the dog full on faints to the ground, eyes wide the entire time. The funniest part about this Oscar performance is that the Pitbull does nothing to stop the owner from clipping its nails, simply shows its submission to the grooming task. The person recording then zooms in on the Pitbull’s face, showing the clear sign of “please get me out of this” through its eyes. It is one of those moments that as viewers, we don’t know whether to laugh or feel bad for the pooch.
On the bright side, even if the Pitbull does not enjoy its necessary nail clipping routine, we can rest assured the dog clearly trusts its owner. Time to give this pooch a treat!
