If you're a dog owner, you're all too familiar with the following scenario.
You're puttering around the house, getting things done. Then all of a sudden you have the strange but unshakable feeling that someone is watching you. You spin around and then you see it. Your pup, crouched in an impressive hiding place, tracking your every move.
It would be totally terrifying if it wasn't so straight-up adorable. Okay, whatever, it's a little creepy, but it's MOSTLY adorable and it's 100 percent hilarious.
