The poodley one who just ran in totally excited/overwhelmed circles is my favourite.

As someone who totally pranks his cats and would presumably use this same energy on a hypothetical future dog, I can't understand while I get so conflicted about other people pranking animals. So much funny but also so much "come on, give the dog the bone."

I'm afraid that might have ended in a career-ending puppeteer hand injury, had my dog been involved.

That's a whole lot of unleashed dogs for a city park.

I was expecting Maymo and Penny.

Demonstrating once again that there is no creature on planet Earth more motivated by food than a Beagle. (It's part of their considerable charm.)

Next up, a lively game of "pretend to throw the stick but hide it behind your back".

I, too, feel conflicted about pranking dogs, but it's also like ... they get over it pretty quickly. I'm just going to pretend all these dogs got snuggles and treats off camera.

I have a wolf puppet and we used to freak my dog out with it. She'd get to a point where she could no longer take it and just start ignoring it. (We did not do this a lot.)

The beagle was like- you don't smell like a dog, so you clearly aren't a dog. You are a human hand (you had peanut butter toast this morning) in a thing that looks vaguely dog-like.

Beagles- trust the nose.

It doesn't smell right, but it still looks and acts dog-like enough to trigger the old instincts. If it was motionless they could ignore it and go for the bone, but moving and making noises bumps it into a higher category.

The black lab was trying to play. He/she was definitely having the most fun with the whole thing (excepting, perhaps, the roller).
