Faker Cry

So my dog isn't really the best behaved dog. Combined with his itty-bittyness, he easily gets away from me (and often hides under the sofa). So in order to counteract this, I usually keep him on a leash when he's running free around the house. Tonight, my mom was bringing a bag of laundry out of her room, so I was holding onto his leash to keep him out of her way for a moment. Anyway, not realizing that I was holding him back, he tried to jump off of the end of the sofa, flipped over and landed on his leg. He started whining and crying, so I got really worried. I picked him up and held him and checked to see where he hurt. He was still whimpering a little and wouldn't walk or move at all. He just looked at me with his little sad eyes and said (in dog language) mommy, I hurt myself, please make me feel better. I wanted to see if he limped when he walked, so I asked my mom to throw me a cracker. She picked the box up and Bodie instantly jumped up and ran as fast as he could to my mom's chair, stood on his back two legs (one of which was supposedly hurt just a moment earlier) and begged for food. I'll never buy that poor injured puppy cry again.
