A clever little dog has amused viewers online after a hilarious video captured him attempting to secure a treat before completing the trick he was asked to perform. The funny clip shows the pup trying to outsmart his owner, slowly inching closer to the reward instead of immediately following instructions.
Dog pulls a smart move to get the treat
The video, shared on Instagram by the popular pet account @daifuku_dazo, highlights the playful personality of Daifuku, a rescued dog who appears determined to get the treat first and worry about the trick later.

The bio, written in both Japanese and English, explains that Daifuku is a rescued Chihuahua–Dachshund mix and that the page shares fun content about his life. The profile also includes links to an Amazon recommendation list and other featured content.
In the video, Daifuku sits in front of his owner, clearly focused on a treat being held nearby. The dog’s eyes stay locked on the reward as he patiently waits for a chance to grab it. The owner appears to ask the pup to perform a trick before receiving the snack. However, Daifuku has a slightly different plan. Instead of immediately obeying the command, the dog slowly moves his head closer and closer toward the treat, clearly hoping he might get it without completing the trick first.
The moment becomes even funnier because the movement happens at an extremely slow pace. As the clip continues, Daifuku inches forward little by little, almost as if he hopes the owner will not notice. The tiny dog carefully stretches his neck toward the treat while maintaining eye contact with it the entire time.
The adorable clip quickly drew reactions from viewers who could not get enough of the dog’s slow and determined attempt to secure the treat. One user wrote: “So adorable.” Another commented: “So cute!” A third viewer added: “Omggggg cutie.” One person joked about the moment everyone noticed: “The saliva on the tip of his nose made me weak.” Another viewer highlighted the dog’s careful strategy, writing: “Slowest motion.”
