Cup and treat trick game: Dog aces the game in adorable video, defeats owner

An adorable video of a dog playing the cup-and-treat trick game with his owner has amused the internet. The clip shared by the Instagram user adventure paws, shows a black and white Great Dane canine using his smart and clever technique to defeat his owner in the popular game in order to find his favourite treat. The clip has been captioned, “We’ve got a genius amongst us,” and the users have agreed that the agile dog is indeed a genius as he is able to ace the game without the need to understand the rules. 

In the clip, a young man can be seen arranging the three blue and purple patterned disposable cups to start the cup-and-treat challenge. Further, he shuffles the cups as the dog pays attention to the owner's activity while he observes the trick carefully. After some time, the owner halts the rearranging and asks the dog to try and imitate. After sniffing for a while, the dog is able to find the treat successfully without a hassle and munches taking the viewers off guard. Despite the three identical-looking cups placed upside-down in a row, the dog is able to find out which among them carries the treat probably due to his strong sense of smell as he declares victory in the game.
