Perhaps the only way to teach your dog a trick or two is by offering them treats, but this dog, a Chiweenie (Chihuahua and Dachshund mix), appeared to have mastered it. The viral Instagram video showed the pooch named Daifuku fixated on the prize, almost making it seem like he was the one playing the trick.
The post has amassed millions of views and a hundred thousand likes, but this was not his first time performing the stunt. The dog account has posted multiple other similar videos, each flaunting the tiny rescue dog‘s unmatched skills.
Dog is laser-focused on getting his treat after doing the trick in viral video
According to Daifuku’s blog, he’s a 7-year-old rescue dog and goes by Inugami or Unkomaru Daifuku, besides flaunting tricks for treats. This Chiweenie is now going viral online for having mastered one particular trick, proving that getting a treat in exchange for a trick is no child’s play. The dog’s Instagram video proved that perseverance, willpower, and perfection will land you the treat you deserve. Similarly, Daifuku nailed the stunt and won the prize he worked for.
The video documented the moment the Chiweenie lifted his paw and, at an exceedingly slow pace, brought it down for a handshake with his dog parent. Nevertheless, he simultaneously kept his gaze sharply focused on the treat lying on the floor for him to snack on. As soon as his paw slightly touched the hand, he ate the treat without hesitation or fumbling, leaving no crumbs behind. The post not only showcased the rescue dog’s relentless determination to complete a task but also his love for treats and fast reflexes.
It would appear the dog’s unparalleled ability to nail a trick in exchange for treats didn’t go unnoticed. Commenters quickly pointed out Daiguku’s speed, notwithstanding his age. One user wrote about the 7-year-old dog, “Sure is fast for an old fella,” while another highlighted how “focused” he remained throughout the task. Many others called him “smart” and “cute” and praised his skills.
