One clever canine devised a hilarious and brilliant trick to avoid getting exercise. This dog’s simple yet very effective move will have you laughing. Watch the short clip to see how the animal was able to keep itself from moving further than what was absolutely necessary.

Exercise is something that we all need regularly. Exercise is also likely something that most of the population gets far too little of. Staying active, getting up and moving around comes with a long list of health benefits.

However, while exercise is a necessary and crucial element to getting and remaining healthy, it can quickly feel like an obligation, a task that must be completed. Whenever we feel compelled to do something, we might do it, but we’ll complete it begrudgingly. Eventually, if exercise becomes too much of a hassle and burden, people will cease doing it.

A short but hilarious clip shows how one dog quickly got tired of exerting too much unnecessary energy. Instead of putting forth a little effort whenever it got hungry and needed a bite to eat, the canine found an ingenious workaround.

The video begins with the dog’s owner informing it that its new dog bowl, which was placed in the living room, was button-activated. The dog’s bowl would release some dog food whenever the button was hit. However, the button was placed in another room, down the hallway, away from the bowl. Of course, this was a way to try and ensure the animal didn’t gorge itself and become obese.

But the dog had other plans.

About 30 seconds into the clip, the dog comes up with an idea after one or two trips down the hall to hit the button. You can almost see the animal concocting the plan. Instead of walking down the hall to the button, the dog decides to bring the button closer, in the same room where the bowl resides.

That dog will not be fooled into getting some exercise!

Later in the clip, the dog even gets help releasing its food from the bowl.
