Prankster Dad in Ghillie Suit Blends Into Tree, 'Traumatizes' Dogs

An Ohio dad decided to play a practical joke on his three English mastiffs recently, donning a ghillie suit and camouflaging himself against a tree in his Cleveland yard to see what they would do.

Footage posted to TikTok by Marijana Atanaskovic shows the pooches approaching the disguised dad, cautiously investigating before quickly retreating when he starts to wave his arms about.

“Watch my dad traumatize my dogs with his ghillie suit,” she joked in the video caption.

Atanaskovic told Storyful: “Despite being so large, they are huge babies and get scared of everything. My dad wanted to see how long it would it would take them to find him in the yard and how they would react.” Credit: Marijana Atanaskovic via Storyful
