Dogs Are Playing Tug of War, but Not How It's Meant To Be Played – Yahoo
Who knew a game of tug of war could be so calm? Two Goldendoodles are winning hearts online after their owner, Instagram user @sociallykels, shared a hilarious video showing the dogs “playing” tug of war — only without the actual tugging part. The clip proves that sometimes, even when nothing happens, it is impossible not to smile.
In the short video, the dogs can be seen playing tug of war, but by standing perfectly still, each holding one end of a white cloth in their mouths.
Neither of them moves a muscle. They simply stare at each other, somehow completely committed to doing absolutely nothing, while the onscreen caption reads, “Idk what’s wrong with my dogs but they like playing tug of war without tugging.”
What makes the video even funnier is that this standoff lasts for several seconds, if not minutes. Moreover, both dogs look completely serious about their version of the game, as if they have come to some silent agreement along the lines of “no one pulls, so no one loses.” The caption jokes, “I think they are having fun.”
Viewers loved the lighthearted moment, flooding the comments section to share their amusement. One viewer joked, “That’s just called sharing,” while another quipped, “I think they hit a glitch! Love them so much lol.” A third user wrote, “So who’s the winner??” While another added, “Apparently they have come to a truce.”
