Lulu, a witty Shiba Inu from New Zealand, has taken the internet by storm with her remarkable and comical acting abilities.
Her playful antics have brought smiles and laughter to millions worldwide. Unlike most dogs who might hide or whine when a vet visit is looming, Lulu takes a different approach—she pretends to be dead.
This hilarious and endearing moment was captured on video by her owner, Micki, and it’s no wonder the clip has racked up over 15 million views on YouTube.

The viral video starts with Micki entering her bedroom to find Lulu lying perfectly still on the bed.
Despite Micki’s cheerful attempts to wake her up with phrases like “Morning, Lulu!” and “Are you gonna wake up?”, Lulu remains completely motionless, fully committed to her act.
Even Micki’s efforts to rouse her with tummy and head scratches don’t break Lulu’s resolve.
Her determination to avoid the vet is both impressive and utterly amusing.

Micki, however, isn’t easily deceived.
She gently pulls the covers off Lulu and continues trying to elicit a response. But Lulu, determined to stick to her plan, doesn’t even twitch a paw.
It’s only when Micki mentions, “We’ve got to go to the vet soon,” that Lulu’s dedication to her lifeless act is truly put to the test.

Even with the mention of the vet, Lulu maintains her charade, leaving Micki no choice but to try something more drastic.
“Boo!” she shouts a few times, but Lulu remains unfazed. The dog’s convincing performance might almost make you believe she’s really asleep—if not for her sly agenda.
But Micki knows her dog well and decides to exploit Lulu’s one weakness.

“Oh, well. Dead puppies don’t get treats,” Micki finally says.
In an instant, Lulu’s eyes snap open, and she eagerly sits up, sniffing at the treat bag. Her ruse, although hilarious and expertly executed, is quickly abandoned in favor of a tasty reward.
