Little pup's epic sneeze is taking the Internet by storm

Sneezing is ordinarily a response to irritants in the nose, but certain other things can cause sneezing, too. Some people sneeze from looking at bright sunlight. And the sounds of a sneeze can be anywhere from the tiny “eennhh!” to the astounding “WWHOOUSH!”
But it isn’t only people who have this sometimes incredibly funny response to that nasal tickle. Some people have even taught their dogs to sneeze on command, and it’s actually easy to do. Just take a look at this adorable Pomeranian, Roux, to see how engaging this trick can be!

When his human tells Roux to sneeze, his little head goes up and back, and then…
...he explodes with an epic sneeze!
Then, to make an a cute trick even more appealing, Roux finishes with a dramatic shake of the head that looks like it might take his head right off his shoulders!
Having performed his requested sneeze, Roux looks to his human for his next command.
Teaching your dog to sneeze isn’t at all hard. All it takes is a tissue or feather duster and a few of his favorite treats. Sit your furbuddy in front of you and gently tickle his nose with the tissue or duster. Be ready! When he accommodates you with a sneeze, say “Sneeze!” and then reward him with a treat. That’s all there is to it. After a few times, he’ll probably sneeze on command. But don’t think your dog’s sneeze can rival Roux’s… after all, this video proves he’s the master of the trick. Watch it and I bet you’ll agree.
