The 12 Most Insane Dog Reactions To The 'What The Fluff' Challenge
Another month brings another challenge trending on social media.
Sweeping the web at the moment: The #whatthefluff hashtag, a prank of sorts (but a fun and cute one) in which pet owners vanish before their animals very eyes by simultaneously dropping a sheet (or blanket) and stepping out of view or retreating through a doorway.
The first example surfaced on Instagram earlier in June, when a London woman bamboozled Jax, a Siberian husky with a gorgeous coat and striking eyes, with sleight-of-hand.
"Try this with your pet," she captioned the 21-second video (press play to watch):

Racking up a little more than 1.9 million views, the clip quickly spilled over to other platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, where it spawned a host of copycats and drew media coverage from both mainstream news sites and viral aggregators alike.
And while you could spend days scrolling through them (like this woman, who regrets nothing), we've collected the best of the bunch below.
Note: As with the embed above, hover over the play prompts to watch.

LOL!
