A Dog was Fake Limping out of Sympathy to His Owner

At times when our loved ones get sick, we all aim to do our best to show as much sympathy as we can to make them feel better. It turns out dogs operate just like us during situations like this. If you don’t believe it yet, you have to read the story of Billy.

Billy is a simple dog, just like any other living in London. His owner Russel Jones recently hurt his ankle and wasn’t able to walk straight; hence the dog came up with the idea to copy him.

Russel was puzzled for eight years Billy was fine and didn’t have any problems with his legs. The only solution he thought acceptable was to take him to the vet. The examination costed him £300, which is over 400$, but veterinarians still didn’t know what was wrong. 

«He walked in normally, and when he came out, they said they couldn’t find anything wrong with him,» Russell told ITV.

No one can say how long his searches would last if, one of the days, his wife hadn’t noticed that the dog was actually jumping around in their garden whit ease. Putting the pieces together, they realized that Billy was only faking his limping out of sympathy for his owner.

Russel has posted a video showing the phenomenon, which is currently one of the most viral videos on the internet. Viewers have divided into two groups, one of them thinking that Billy is just a great con artist and the other saying that it was just a great act of love.
