German Shepherd pup's 'play dead' act is Oscar-worthy

A cute German Shepherd puppy is taking over the internet with its Oscar-worthy ‘play dead’ trick.

The pup’s owner makes the adorable puppy sit before pointing his fingers at it and yelling the “bang” command.

The littler German Shepherd then falls over  onto its back and ‘plays dead’, even laying a paw onto its face to provide that extra drama.

The video has already clocked 10,000 views in the 12 hours it’s been online.

He does have other competitors who have perfected the trick with notable performances.

Another video uploaded onto YouTube features ‘Sam’ the German Shepherd also dramatically performing the trick.

Which dog do you think ‘plays dead’ better?
