Then the man decided to entice his dog with a game of fetch. He started to look for sticks lying around him and picked up a small twig.

However, the dog showed no signs of being interested in the stick. Rather, he would still just lay on the ground and wait for the man to bring the stick near to him.

When nothing else seemed to work, the man improvised his strategy a little. He picked up a much larger piece of stick and put it in his own mouth.

After noticing his human perform this strange task, the dog became fairly curious. When the man started to take a few steps backward, with the stick still in his mouth, the dog jumped to his feet and followed his owner.

The man then simply led his dog away from the field and the dog followed happily. The witnesses who recorded the entire incident were heard laughing throughout the clip.

The hilarious video went viral on the internet with more than 12 million views so far and over 15,000 likes on YouTube.
