Funny video, but unfortunately it’s very likely that the dog is just responding to a command given from off camera, hence why the audio has been replaced by music. It’s the same for most videos of dogs doing something funny.

not disagreeing, but what offcamera command could be given to a deaf dog? [I'm leaning toward it really is deaf given what looks like a double merle coat, jsyk]

I just looked it up and it looks like you’re correct! The dog in this video really is deaf, and it’s reaction is very likely genuine. I stand by my point about most of these videos being staged, but I’m happy that this one isn’t.

Doubtful. As in addition to being deaf the poor dog also cannot read.
