Denzel Washington. Michelle Williams. Robert De Niro. Viola Davis.

What do these four have in common? They are all great actors.

What is great acting?

Those of us who like watching plays and movies instinctively know what great acting is. When an actor or actress gives a great performance, we are very drawn into the plot. With every facial expression and dialogue, we feel all the emotions that the actor is playing out.

According to a Backstage article acting is not just about spewing lines. Acting is an art form that requires hard work and talent. In particular, the article states that:

Remarkable actors do go through intense training specifically so you can’t tell how hard they’re working, so you can’t see the years and years of training that got them to this point. There is a disguised virtuosity in the complex craft of acting that doesn’t show itself in skilled acting. The goal of great actors? To act so naturally—yes, acting naturally requires acting—that their skills are invisible.

Dogs can act too!

There are many celebrity dogs who act like Stella (from Modern Family) and the very famous Lassie! However, these dogs’ acting skills are nothing compared to how our fur babies act to get our attention. Is your baby feeling hungry? Expect some pacing and whining to remind you that her tummy is empty. Is he feeling jealous? Perhaps, that is why he acts a little bit more aggressively nowadays.

Ginger is a pit bull who belongs to a healthy set of humans. She is very loved. She is the apple of her parents’ eyes.

Ginger is famous for one thing

Ginger has quite a reputation on the Internet. She is known for her acting skills. She is no Meryl Streep but she sure is close.

In a video that has been viewed at least 17 million times, we see Ginger doing what most dogs do — enjoying time with her mommy and daddy.

However, things take a strange turn when she hears her mommy ask for her paw.

Her mom is asking for her paw

To ask for your dog’s paws should be a normal occurrence, right? However, as we watch through the video, we see Ginger’s facial expression change from calm to suspicious very quickly. We do not know why. All her mom does is ask for her paw.

The drama continues

Ginger’s parents want to cut her nails. Ginger is not pleased. As a good sport though, she readily obliges and hands her paws to her owners.

Something funny happens in the middle of this all. Ginger closes her eyes, falls down, and rolls over. She pretends that she is fainting.

As we see this happen, we hear her dad say, “There she goes.” He laughs and continues to video his baby. We are now sure that this is not the first time that Ginger faints during a nail-cutting session.

She makes mommy cut her nails

The pit bull continues to lie down as her human does the job. She lies still. We think that this is her way of cooperating until we see the dreaded look in her eyes.

Why does she hate getting her nails cut so much?

We are clueless as to why Ginger behaves this way when getting her nails trimmed. We do know that in spite of the top-notch acting, she is obedient. She just lies down there until her perceived moment of torture is over.
