Those darn laser pointers! For a dog it’s a little speck of red light that magically moves from the floor to the ceiling and sometimes even disappears altogether! For a lot of dogs, chasing that little point of light is just too darn tempting to resist, and for us humans, it can lead to hours of fun (so long as proper precautions are observed).

For little French Bulldog King, however, the laser pointer chase is just too exhausting, and after going after it for a few turns, he just submits to it … in a rather comical fashion!

King: 0. Laser pointer: 1

And to celebrate the eternally humorous relationship between dogs and laser pointers, here are a couple other videos of canines engaged in a chase they simply can never win.

Instead of chasing the red dot, this dog attempts to dig it up out of the carpet. Yet no matter how hard he digs, he just can’t seem to get it!

Sometimes laser points can even unite the animal kingdom. Here are a dog and a couple of cats united against an evil laser pointer invader. It settles the age-old debate: Are dogs or cats smarter? They look to be about the same level of intelligence here.
