With dogs, the key to a successful hiding spot lies in maintaining a straight face – or in their case, a straight tail. An unwavering facial expression and an inattentive attitude allow dogs to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, making it nearly impossible for their owners to find them. By resisting the urge to give themselves away by wagging their tails or smiling, dogs ensure that their hiding spot goes undetected, prolonging the excitement and suspense of the game. It’s a test of will and self-control, and the ultimate reward of staying hidden is worth every moment of restraint.
