This is the moment a dramatic dog tries to avoid getting her nails trimmed by fainting before the first snip.

A video of the Oscar-worthy performance by a pit bull in the US went viral over the weekend after it was shared on Reddit.

It shows the pooch ignoring her nail-clipper-wielding owner before finally giving up her front paw.

Just as the owner about to trim the first nail, the dog makes her theatrical descent.

I don't believe that breed shown is a pit bull. Not 100% sure, but I think it is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Also, the dog wasn't feigning fainting. What it was doing was submitting and asking the nail clipper to not cause harm. Dogs will roll over and submit in this way when they want to demonstrate passivity and pleading.

I think it was at the dog training class where they had us work with our pup to get used to handling his paws, ears, tail, etc.

Now at 80 pounds our mutt will let us (and the vet) do anything to him. He makes a noise once in awhile when we have to clean out his ear (gets a rash, bleeds, etc.) just to let us know it hurts, but he sits quietly for it.

Awhile ago he got skewered in the leg by a branch - missed a big artery by just a little bit. And right near his privates. I was a bit nervous at first with that when we had to tend to his would twice a day. It was swollen, red - obviously hurt - and near his privates!

Same thing. He made a sound letting us know it hurt. More of a groan than a growl. Of course he does get a treat after it all - so that helps!

Someone should write a scene in a movie just for this dog.

one of the commenters said this isn’t a pitbull. It is a staffy.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff (in the United States), is a medium-sized, short-coated American dog breed. It is one of several breeds in the pit bull group...

My daughter has a Staffordshire Terrier. They have a slightly different shaped face/nose than what is generally thought of as pit bull, but yep, they are pittys. The variations that constitute the "terrier/pit bull" category is surprisingly large.

I have noticed that most of their owners are as ugly as they are.

That's mature /sarc

It's a cute 1 minute video and that's what you have to contribute?

I'd have to agree with that. Staffy's are leaner, taller, and usually have a narrower face but they are just as fearless and protective in my experience.

They are pit bull, just a slightly different version. Same disposition. Velcro dogs. Although my daughter's is fearless in some ways, she won't get into the kitchen trash because when the bag crinkles it scares her LOL.

It’s still a free country. Right?

Some days I wonder about that when I read the liberal courts tyranny of the day.

As kids we used that phrase a lot, I am afraid it is rapidly becoming an anachronistic concept.

I see you may already know Max the cockatoo, going to the vet to get his nails trimmed, over on YT. I laugh every time I watch it, although the bird speaks bird language only. Someone sent me the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UUjJysUMTw

I find Max to be more reliable than newspeople.

The guy loves his bird, even cooking for him.

Actually, I think the dog was NOT pretending to faint. It was doing what it needed to counter what it knows is a stressful situation - it went limp with total relaxation. I wish my dogs had learned to do that.

Today there are knew pet grooming tools that do not clip the nail, but instead apply a very small battery operated grinding wheel tool, that just gently grinds the end of the nail down.

Mine doesn't like anything mechanical or things that make loud (to her) noises. Like people; she avoids things she doesn't understand. Not really a fear; an avoidance.

Well, at least my cat lets me trim her claws without giving me a fight.
