Vizsla puppy versus one tater tot

There's one tater tot on the kitchen counter and a Vizsla puppy who wants it more than anything. more

Chris Cohen filmed the standoff in his kitchen, then added the best part himself. He voiced the puppy's inner thoughts, so the whole thing plays out from the dog's side of the counter.

The tot sits just out of reach. The puppy rises up on his back legs with one front paw lifted, his red collar bright against the dark cabinets. He's finding out how far a Vizsla can stretch. The answer isn't quite far enough.

"Think, Jeffrey, think," he pleads. One last big reach, and then he calls the whole thing a joke.

Someone asks what he is doing. "Nothing," he says, and when he's told to get down, he has his answer ready. "Yeah, I was getting down anyway." After that much effort, he has earned the tater tot.
