Dogs may be masters of pretending not to hear, but their tails almost always betray them. A tiny Maltese named Cony Teokbokki has gone viral for doing exactly that, trying her best to ignore her mom while lying dramatically on the floor, only for her tail to expose her excitement the moment she hears the word “biscuit.”

Cony stars on the Instagram account @conythericecakemaltese, where she has earned 16.2K followers across 796 posts. Her adorable bio describes her perfectly: “White and smol like ricecake| smol but breathe and chew really loud | 17 October 2020.” Her page is filled with wholesome dog videos just like the one in this video.
The clip opens with Cony lying stiffly on the floor between two perfectly plush dog beds, refusing to move. The text overlay reads: “Tried to play dead but my tail don’t lie.” Her mom calls her gently, but Cony stays perfectly still, staring away as if she’s offended or deep in dog philosophy. She refuses to budge, frozen, face expressionless, fully committing to the role. Then comes the magic word. Mom says, “Biscuit?”
Within a fraction of a second, Cony’s tiny white tail begins wagging uncontrollably behind her. But the tail? It absolutely gives her away. Viewers couldn’t get enough of her adorable betrayal. One user wrote, “That tail is a traitor, gave it all away.” Another added, “Cracks me up she got TWO comfy beds, but the mofo chooses the hard floor in between!” One commented, “Dogs are pure souls.” And another said, “I can’t take that anymore.”
Maltese dogs are affectionate companion dogs that weigh under seven pounds and have long, straight, silky white coats with a compact, smooth-moving build. They are known for their expressive dark eyes and black button noses, and they adapt easily as pets.
