When Your Dog Refuses to Leave the Park

Ever tried leaving the park with your dog, only to realize you’re no longer in charge? Last weekend, I witnessed a golden retriever in Berlin who took stubbornness to a new level. As her owner jingled the leash and pleaded, this dog just flopped onto the grass and went full ragdoll mode. Not a single muscle moved for 20 minutes. People started gathering, phones out, giggling. One guy whispered, “Is this performance art?” Eventually, the owner unclipped the leash in defeat. Instantly, the dog sprang up and sprinted off, tail wagging like she’d just won the lottery. The crowd cheered. I swear, dogs know exactly how to play us. If you’ve ever been outsmarted by your own pet, you’re not alone. Next time, maybe just pack snacks and settle in for the show. Dogs: 1.
