In a viral TikTok video, a pup called Odin goes to extreme lengths to prank his brother, Pete, but his plan didn't exactly work out as planned.

The hilarious clip, shared on Monday under the username @moemac20, shows the pup hiding behind the door, patiently waiting for the right moment to jump at his brother and give him the scare of a lifetime.

However, what he didn't take into consideration was that the door was made of glass, and Pete was able to see him the entire time. So when he got out, they both stared at each other instead, and then chased one another around the garden.

"Odin 'hid' behind the door for quite a while waiting for Pete to come out so he could jump at him," says a caption shared with the video.

If you're considering getting a second dog, the American Kennel Club suggests asking yourself a few questions before welcoming the pup into the family. The first one is whether your established dog is out of puppyhood and completely trained, as it is always harder to train two dogs at once.

You should then consider dogs that match the energy levels of your pup. Another aspect to consider is whether you are ready to double the efforts and the costs.

Once you have your answer and you decide to get another dog, you can start planning their introduction, which must be done the right way because it sets the basis for their future relationship.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 802,100 views and 114,400 likes on the platform.

One user, Alex navy, commented: "Where did that brown dog came from? There was nothing and then 2 DOGS!"

BoringBabyDaddy said: "That's some super stealth right there."

RemedialAdult wrote: "People don't give dogs enough credit. That is actually high level comedy."

Another user, Rudy said: "I'm choosing to believe he fully understood the irony and sense of anticipation hiding behind a glass door would create."

Ashley added: "Pete is such a team player and letting Odin still think he's so smart haha. What cuties."
