“What The Fluff” is about owners tricking their pets and capturing their perplexed reactions and all that they need are a blanket, a doorway and a gullible pet.

The trick goes like this: The owner has to stand in front of their pet on the doorway, hiding behind a blanket. After getting their pet’s attention, the owner has to disappear. The adorable part of this challenge is the reaction of the pet that follows after their owner disappears.

The challenge was first performed by London-based Instagrammer siberianhusky_jax on her pet husky. She posted the video on June 17 and asked others to take up the challenge, using the hashtag #WhatTheFluffChallenge or just #WhatTheFluff.

Her post has so far received 19,71,777 views.

People across the world have participated in the challenge and posted similar videos of their pets. The reactions from the pets were not the same as some reacted with shock and others just acted indifferently.

Here are some posts from the challenge:
