Puppy Has Ruff Time Understanding Where Treats Disappear To

A puppy was left paw-sitively baffled on March 24, after his trickster owner repeatedly made his treats disappear at their home in Carryduff, Northern Ireland.

In the video, recorded by Brid McGrath, her son Rory shows Bailey the puppy some treats, before placing one under each front paw.

The exercise, meant to help stimulate the pup’s brain, resulted in the adorable golden retriever looking around in befuddlement after his treats seemingly vanished.

“He couldn’t seem to work out where they were going,” Rory McGrath told Storyful.

McGrath said that the canine loved being challenged. “Although this video makes him look like a dope, he’s much more intelligent than he looks, I promise!” he said. Credit: Brid McGrath via Storyful
