The trance
I’ve watched this about five times already, and laugh just as hard every time. The trance is incredible:

Oh,I love The Soup! I saw this bit last week and they used it again on their latest episode,so funny. That poor doggie,give him a cupcake(as long as it’s not chocolate,of course)-aww:)
oh, that is why I love dogs! They start the BEST jokes!
That is too freaking funny. Winston’s “leave it” is a stare AT the item… apparently we messed up the command, because it’s supposed to mean they can never have the item they covet. But we’ve told him “leave it” with a treat and forgotten about him and found him five minutes later still sitting there 5 inches away, staring.
And he can sit perfectly still. We’ve done long-exposure photographs where he sits so still you can make out every hair. All you have to do is hold up a treat for him to look at.
Katie, it’s hilarious–and yet so cruel!–that you’ve forgotten him and found him still staring. What a good boy! And so gullible! I mean, trainable! (Hear that, Bear? Winston is a good dog.)
Shai, always happy to pass along some dog joy.
Lady T, you and I have that same problem with training dogs: On the one hand, we want them to behave, but on the other, how can you resist that face? Obviously we need to be more like Katie–heart of stone. Right, Katie?
i feel bad for the dog, but its so cute, it made me laugh, i would never do that to a dog, but my dogs would probably be really fat
Carli, that’s why it’s up to the owner–not the dog–to make sure no cupcakes are left lying about.
My part-time dog Kaya (who stays with us several months out of the year) is a notorious bread stealer. But she doesn’t do it every day, so we get lazy and careless. Then one day we’ll be taking out the garbage or otherwise not on watch, and she leaps up, steals the loaf of bread off the counter, and eats the whole thing right through the bag.
We scold her, but it is pretty funny. And it reminds me not to leave food out that I care about, or food that would make her sick!
That’s wonderful!
Ours are notorious thieves too, and have managed to get much worse things than bread. In fact, the crazy little one’s previous owner says he climbed up to a high bookcase, by-passed lower quality chocolate for the good stuff, and then placed all his favourite stuffed animals in a circle around him while he ate it! Probably just as well both are mutts and are less delicate about eating things that are VERY BAD for them…
Hi, Lady S–nice to see you back here! And thanks for the bad dog story. Sounds like you have the same reaction I do to the clever/bad behavior of our pets: secret pride.
my aunt and uncle had to put a latch on their fridge because their dog was able to open the fridge door, and he always got food off the counter, people always had to watch him
