Placing a piece of pork pie an inch away from a sleeping pet’s nose is a hilarious social experiment. And the family behind @storm_the_mischevious_gsd tried this exact prank on their handsome German Shepherd, Storm. In the viral clip, this deep sleeper takes an eternity to figure out his surroundings. The internet is cracking up over how the confused dog slowly wakes up and realizes delicious food is waiting for him, but he doesn’t know where. He sniffs the air frantically, completely oblivious to the treat touching his front leg.
Dog wakes up after smelling food and slowly realizes it was right under his nose
The video opens with Storm curled up in a tight ball on his plush bed. He is resting his heavy head against the side bolster when a human hand enters the frame, holding a yummy piece of pork pie. The hand belongs to his brother, who hovers the snack near his snout before placing it down quietly. Storm continues sleeping peacefully for several seconds. Then, suddenly, his eyes pop wide open and his large ears perk up as he slowly becomes cognizant of the rich smell of the food.
He props his entire upper body up and looks around the living room with total confusion. German Shepherds typically possess excellent tracking abilities, but his skills seem to be temporarily slow due to his disorienting slumber. He scans the room and blinks at the camera while his nose wiggles for a signal.
Eventually, he realizes the delicious snack is sitting right beneath his own front paw. And we see him devouring the pastry instantly, and happily smacking his lips. His canine sister, Whisper, watches the entire thing play out from a safe distance across the room and then gets up to go over to the humans to claim her own treats.
Storm watches her closely, hoping for another round of snacks. His owner tosses another piece right behind him, which he swallows quickly before looking sleepy again. The hilarious clip earned over 7.1k likes from amused fans who love his lazy personality.
