Dog gets ‘overwhelmed’ while playing tic-tac-toe with owner in video
The video opens with a tic-tac-toe board placed on a bed as Haley Deecken asks Dunkin if he’s ready to play. From the beginning, however, the pup appears far more interested in a plush toy than the game. He clutches the toy in his mouth, refusing to let go, even as his owner tries to redirect his attention. After some gentle encouragement, Dunkin finally focuses enough to make his first move, placing an X on the board.
As the game continues, Dunkin manages another move, but staying focused proves difficult. At one point, he becomes completely distracted by a fish tank across the room. Deecken jokingly asks if he needs “fish time” and briefly takes him over to watch the fish before returning to the game. Even then, Dunkin repeatedly tries to grab the plush toy, prompting Deecken to explain to viewers that the distraction has become an ongoing issue. Nonetheless, she promises him the toy once the game is finished.
Eventually, Dunkin places what should be his final X, but it lands in the wrong spot. Deecken then completes three in a row, officially winning the game. Realizing his mistake, Dunkin attempts to move his piece to a better position, only to be told that changes aren’t allowed. Unable to accept defeat, Dunkin sharply barks at her and knocks over the entire board. In the caption, Deecken jokes that he was clearly “over whelmed” by the loss.
Viewers were quick to share their thoughts in the comments, with some joking that Dunkin was too “aware and conscious.” Others pointed out the bite marks on the X pieces, while a few argued that he “technically won” by flipping the board. Many commenters praised his intelligence, with one writing that the dog clearly “has thoughts.”
