Dog ‘reads’ tricks from cards and performs them. Watch
The video shared on Instagram captures a dog performing tricks after looking at cards.
Dog parents often teach different tricks to their pooch babies. Those performances when recorded and shared online leave netizens amused. Just like this video shared by a teacher that shows her pet dog performing some tricks. However, the pooch does that by looking at a few cards.

“I’ll have her reading chapter books in no time!” the woman joked as she shared the video. While replying to a comment on her post, she also explained more about the trick. “It’s the position of the card, don’t worry I’m not trying to legitimately fool anyone into thinking she’s actually reading words—just a fun trick!” she added.
