The clip begins with text on screen introducing the trick: “This is the Triple Stack.” Jovie sits calmly on the floor, looking up at her owner with focused attention. Her owner begins placing treats one by one on top of Jovie’s nose. The first treat lands gently on her nose, keeping her head steady. Next comes the second treat.
