Bella the beagle is the most dramatic dog you’ll ever see.

In this funny video filmed in March in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Bella can be seen playing dead with her owner, Monika.

Once she’s been "shot" by Monika, Bella howls and keels over - slowly - and stays perfectly still on the floor.

Even her tail stops wagging.

“She is a very clever dog," says Monika. "I started (by) teaching her only to be dead and lay down on (her) back without a move and then we have added a bang to it."

She has "an amazing howl, like she was really shot,” Monika adds.

Bella was 5 months when I've started training her to play dead. It took about 2-3 months of daily training to get her where she is now. She is a very clever dog. I've started from the teaching her only to be dead and lay down on the back without a move and then we have added a bang to it and she is playing it with an amazing howl like she was really shot
