Our pets love to play games with us, even if they don’t always understand all the rules. We once tried setting up a scavenger hunt for our pup by hiding treats around the house, but instead of searching, she just stood beside us waiting for instructions, completely clueless about the whole mission.

Rhubarb the Pit Bull absolutely loves playing hide-and-seek with her family… she’s just not very good at it. She understands that she’s supposed to hide, and she does her best to cover up, but there’s one adorable giveaway every single time. As you’ll see in this sweet video, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t keep herself entirely hidden, and it makes the game even more fun to watch!

We have a Pit Bull too, and that thumping tail is always a dead giveaway for where we can find her when we’re looking for her! Rhubarb’s mom joked in the video’s caption, “Let me know if you guys can see her…”
