Meet Max — a mischievous golden retriever from Texas who may be too smart for his own good.
When Max sprained his paw a few months ago, his owner, Rachel, gave him extra cuddles — and lots of treats — during recovery. After a few weeks, Max healed completely… or so Rachel thought.
One afternoon, Max approached her with a dramatic limp. Concerned, Rachel checked his paw — perfectly fine. But when she walked away, Max forgot and ran normally — only to start limping again when he saw Rachel return.
Curious, Rachel set up a camera. The footage revealed Max’s clever plan: he’d fake limp whenever Rachel was watching — and look expectantly at the treat jar!
Rachel shared the hilarious video online, with the caption:
“Golden retrievers: beautiful, loyal, and absolute con artists.”
The clip went viral. Comments poured in:
“Oscar-worthy performance!”
“When your dog figures out how to hustle you.”
Max still tries the trick occasionally. Rachel says:
“I can’t even be mad — he’s too smart, and it makes me laugh every time.”
At AmazedInk, we love moments like these — because sometimes, animals remind us that humor is universal.
