Sonny pretends to be asleep, hoping to fool his people. However, the hilarious dog gives himself away when he shoots them a side-eyed glance to see if they are buying it. Fortunately, his humans found the behavior so amusing that they let him fool them. “Yes, we let him sleep” reads the funny video’s caption. Viewers cracked up at Sonny’s antics. Some even shared that their dogs have come up with similar performances. “My dog will do this but forgets to close her eyes and will just snore and be limp,” wrote one TikTok user.
