![]() We are in an era where critical thinking is exceptionally vital. The monkey magician wanted attention so they could turn it into enjoyment for someone else. The dog tricker wanted the dog’s attention strictly so that they could garner enjoyment for themselves at the dog’s expense. When someone stands up in front of a crowd and relays some type of information, they almost always fall into one of those two camps. When people are actively spreading information to others, they are generally doing so for one of two reasons: They either want your attention for their own benefit or for yours. But I want you to catch the same revelation I did the other day when this concept first hit me. So my own attitudes towards people who trick dogs might be based in hyperbole. For the person who performs a magic trick for a monkey, though, you’re just trying to introduce a little bit of wonder into the world. When you try to trick a dog, all you’re doing is trying to bamboozle someone else for your own benefit. It’s a base mentality that belies severe lack of empathy. As I’ve already hinted, my opinion of those who try to trick dogs is none too high. What I’m interested in is the all-too human attitudes and motivations at play for the people behind each of these actions. The monkey will always react with amazement and awe. The dog will always respond with trust, followed by disappointment when it realizes you’re tricking it. I’m not really interested in the animals receiving the tricks all that much, aside from their differing reactions. Let me show you my cards a little bit here. ![]() It looks silly to us because, well, it’s a person doing magic for a monkey, and more often than not we’re on the end of the trick where we can see just how stupidly simple it really was all along. Every time I’ve seen one of these videos, and I’ve seen a surprisingly large number of these videos, the monkey inevitably reacts with joy and amazement. What amazes me is how the animal always loves the trick. Have you ever seen one of those viral videos where someone performs a magic trick for a monkey? Maybe they make a little ball disappear or perform some simple, rudimentary sleight of hand at a zoo, and then the monkey reacts. ![]() Here’s an interesting question for you, though. What is the point in fooling a less-intelligent life form just to bolster your own ego? Why visit such heartless trickery on an innocent canine? It is an indefensible act. Pretending to throw a tennis ball so you can trick a dog is one of the lowest, most depraved acts of common humanity. As many times as it takes for that dog to learn that it can’t trust you.Īnd when the whole charade is over, all you’ve really succeeded in doing is taking what little love and magic was left in the world and diminishing it that much more. As many times as it takes for that dog to learn to watch the ball all the way through the throw. Most of the time, you don’t just pretend to throw the ball once. And you just denied it the pleasure of chasing that tennis ball. That dog is probably the most trusting, loving, beautiful soul on this planet. #dog #funny #dogs #dogs #foryou #funnyvideo #fyp #pet ♬ original sound – papidog01įew things are more adorable and heartwarming than watching a sweet golden retriever’s face so perplexed over a disappearing treat.Have you ever started to throw a tennis ball for a dog and then only pretended to throw it? The dog gets duped when the treat put under one of the cups disappears, leaving a look of disbelief and one raised eyebrow on this fur baby’s face that is truly priceless. The dog decides to put his (or her) paw on the other cup, and as the cup is lifted, there is still no treat. When the cup is lifted, there is no treat, and the dog looks bewildered. When the cups stop, the captivated dog puts his paw on the cup he thinks has the treat under it. The cups are mixed up by turning them in a circle. The treat is first shown to the dog and then placed under one of two cups. TikTok user shared this video of a charming four-legged golden retriever that stars in the video. This magic trick was no different for this intelligent fur baby who was sure to have it in the bag until they were tricked, only to find out their treat had disappeared altogether. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, dog or human there’s something perpetually alluring about seeing a magician perform before your eyes. Cuteness Alert! This video of an adorable golden retriever’s reaction to being tricked with a treat magic trick is hilarious.
