We all know that trying to get a pet to pose for a photo can be a real nightmare.
Indeed, a video is doing the rounds on social media this week, which shows an adorable dog accidentally eating a woman's engagement ring, in a pet photo-op which went horribly awry.
According to The Sun, the video in question went viral after it was shared on the subreddit What Could Possibly Go Wrong? - a forum on Reddit where users share pictures and videos of accidents waiting to happen.
The 11-second-long clip was titled "WCPGO if I try to show off my new engagement ring?" and shared by a Redditor with the handle u/DanyHeatley50in07, who claimed that their friend had sent it to them.
Take a look at the footage of the hilarious mishap:The video shows an unseen woman the woman commanding her golden retriever Thor to "sit" and "stay," while carefully balancing placing her engagement ring on top of its nose.
Predictably, the blameless pooch assumed that the expensive piece of jewelry was a delicious treat. Thus, Thor expertly flicked the ring off the end of his nose and into his mouth, swallowing it whole, to the shock of his owner.
Suffice it to say, a number of Redditors were amused by the footage, and voiced their incredulity in the comments over the dog owner's lack of foresight:
For instance, one dumbfounded commenter wrote:
But it's not just dogs doing this - one woman actually swallowed her own engagement ring in her sleep:"Honestly wondering, you see dog boy hyper focused with nose sniffing the entirety of the known universe. Clearly this is a treat routine."
"What did she say after stay? Was it the command for chomp or just a random single syllable word that dog took for chomp? [sic]"
Meanwhile, someone else added:
"Haha. Something happened to a neighbor growing up. Dog ate a box of candies with a crazy ring for her mom. They were searching the dogs poop like it was a crime scene for weeks. [sic]
Unfortunately, we don't know if the pet owner ever got her ring back.
