A dog with a hurt paw has left the internet in stitches after her owners shared a video of how she's been taking advantage of them since her injury.

The viral clip, shared on TikTok in July by @brittanydishnow, shows the German shepherd pit bull mix lying in bed with her paw bandaged as her owner spoon-feeds her dinner while petting her.

"Definitely milking this and we are enabling her," the caption says.

The Dog Clinic explains that while dogs cannot fake an injury, they can learn that certain behaviors, like limping, may get them extra treats and attention.

"A 'fake' limp is often learned during a real injury. The dog receives lots of positive attention and comfort when he's limping, leading to him repeating the behavior even when there is no pain," the website said.

They learn this kind of behavior from accidental positive reinforcement when they're actually injured, probably because their owners give them extra love and comfort during those times.

"Keep in mind that the dog doesn't assign any meaning to this behavior. They are not aware that they are doing something sneaky or deceitful – they have just learned that limping leads to positive attention," the website added.

The video quickly went viral on TikTok, receiving over 1.1 million views and 145,600 likes on the platform so far.
