Every dog has talent and each one is gifted in their own special way. Some of them know all the major tricks in the book and can do things like sit, roll over, shake hands, play dead, bark, and more on command. Others are less inclined towards formal types of behaviors and instructions, their talents lie in other areas like playing, running, jumping, cuddling, or even breaking out of their kennels or the house and being amazing escape artists.
The big handsome Rottweiler named Reese in this video happens to be a professional at pulling faces and play acting. He’s mastered the art of turning the charm on and off and can go from all innocent and sweet looking to mean and intimidating in the blink of an eye. It’s unclear whether or not his owner spent any time actually teaching him this awesome skill, but either way he has it down solid and can bust it out on command in just a split-second!
As you can see, Reese starts off looking like a total sweetheart. He’s just lounging on a comfortable cushion while enjoying a nice day outside with his owner. While he looks naturally strong and powerful, as most Rottweilers do, nothing about him appears vicious. Rather, it seems like there’s not a mean bone to be found in his whole body!
All of that changes when his dad tells him to “show me your mean face.” In an instant, Reese goes from calm and serene to seriously mean and fearsome looking. He curls back his upper lip and bares his razor sharp teeth to the gums.
Then he starts to growl in a low, rumbling tone that sounds as menacing as he looks. To top it all off, he even does that strange sort of licking thing that many dogs seem to do when they are super angry and about to attack. It really looks as if he has suddenly become possessed, and yet it’s all just him acting big and tough because he’s really a nice, even natured dog.
If you’re anything like me, you probably had to watch the video several times to convince yourself that Reese wasn’t actually angry or being provoked. He’s not and his acting skills are simply that good because towards the end of the clip he drops the whole mean face act, puts his head down, and is back to being all cute and adorable once again after his dad says “good boy.”
In the end, two things are for certain. Reese has what it takes to be a protective family dog and an effective guard dog. He has the attitude, obedience, and control that makes him loyal and loving, and yet fierce and intimidating looking if need be, all at once.
Not many dogs are capable of appearing so instantly angry and mean looking on cue, but Reese has it down pat. Be sure to check out his mean face and pass it on with any fellow dog lovers that you know, they can surely appreciate this!
