Dog adorably plays dead so he doesn't have to leave the park

When it was time to leave a park in Atlanta, Georgia, this pooch was either too lazy to begin the walk home - or he was just having too much fun.

Cue two minutes of his owner trying every trick in the book to try to make him leave - coaxing, sternness, even dragging.

But the dog refuses to budge.

Eventually, bribery works as he manages to tempt the dog away with something just as good as the park - a stick.

The video was uploaded three years ago but has gone viral in recent days - probably because it’s just that adorable.
