A dachshund hilariously backs up in anticipation for its owner to throw a toy.

Footage from yesterday (October 10) shows the pooch slide back on a rug in a hilarious fashion after tussling over a toy.

The filmer explained: "She has been trained to lay down before we throw toys, give her food, basically everything requires her to lay down first.

"When we take longer than she feels is necessary, she will start doing this to 'show us' she is laying down."
