TikTok user Jenna Bailey (@jfbailey226) shared this adorable instance of puppy mischief on May 25, captioned “Watch our golden retriever puppy ‘Nala’ play dead after chewing up the remote.”

Nala is seen belly-up on a bed, eyes closed and paws in the air, beside a rather chewed-up remote. She’s wagging her tail enthusiastically as a voice in the video chides her, to the amusement of all watching. TikTok users were quick to declare Nala’s innocence, her adorably convincing act sending viewers into fits of laughter. Truly, Nala may just deserve a ‘Golden’ Globe for her brilliant performance.
