Dog Balances Treats Jenga-Style On His Nose (VIDEO)

Someone get this Golden Retriever a medal, because his zen capabilities are unparalleled.

We're no mathematicians, but by our calculations there's a total of 36 treats stacked Jenga-style on his snout, and he just sits. Blinks. Waits. A paragon of self-control.

We felt actual joy in the last moments where he gets the big payoff. You earned it, dude.

Cruel and inhumane? Bit much don't you think? It's a dog trick. Dog. Trick. Subtle implication that the owner will beat that dog if it drops the treats; sorta subtle, anyway. OK, not really subtle at all. And also, as far as you and we all know, a totally unfounded accusation.

You know what else animals weren't put on this planet to do? Be domesticated and live in houses with people. So I guess you'll be packing up your five dogs and twenty-nine cats and sending them off to a natural preserve then, huh?

Seriously, PETA much?

I would say this was more a - Stupid Human Trick - and the dog just put up with it.

... hugs to the wonderful pooch...

My Dog would just laugh if I tried to get him to do this...

... he'd say - get the cat to do it... not like he is doing anything else but coughing up fur balls.

It must be a builder's dog. That's how they measure how flat things are.
