Talk about mean pranks. 

Jack the dog has learned how to scare the heck out of his buddy Archie. All he has to do is play dead. 

Watch Archie’s heartbreaking grief as he falls for Jack’s act, which was posted on Twitter by the dogs’ owner Sam: 

Jack was so still that some commenters wondered if he might really be dead.

“I promise he is alive and well,” Sam replied. 

In other followup comments, Sam wrote that Jack managed to play dead for a full 30 minutes, which must’ve been hard on poor Archie.

These Dogs Getting Massages Are the Cutest Thing Ever

A relaxing session with a client named Doug da Pug.

Massage therapist Rubi Sullivan never needs to ask her clients to disrobe. But otherwise, the dogs she treats have much in common with people getting a rubdown. "They respond a lot like we do," says Sullivan, a former preschool teacher and the owner of Heal Animal Massage in Portland, Oregon. "Some will relax, stretch out, take deep breaths. Others just yawn and fall asleep." While sessions don't involve candles and incense, Sullivan says a melodious soundtrack can come in handy: "Soft music helps nervous dogs calm down. I like playing piano and classical music for them—and Yo-Yo Ma." (credit:Joanna Sooper)

Sullivan works on Samson, a black Labrador.

Sullivan is trained in techniques like Swedish massage and soft tissue therapy, but her regulars aren't just pampered pups being overindulged. Most of them have osteoarthritis or joint inflammation, or are recovering from surgery. For senior pooches, the psychological rewards can outweigh the physical ones. Says Sullivan: "I worked with an older long-haired collie named Quincy, who had painful arthritis, for more than a year. The massage was great for his sticky joints, but the mental stimulation really perked him up." (credit:Laurine Apollini of Apolloni Vineyards)

Through her clients and volunteer work at shelters, Sullivan has helped care for at least 500 canines. But a special pair of pups stand out. "Sacha is my three-legged dog, mostly German shepherd, from the Galápagos Islands, and Thor is a 12-year-old Great Pyrenees I adopted ten years ago," she says. "They're not spoiled, but they definitely demand hands-on attention—and I'm happy to oblige!" (credit:Andie Petkus)
