This is the amusing moment a pet dog under a hammock is confused about what to do after its owner started to swing and nudge it back and forth.

Lugkhana Sookchuen was relaxing with family at the back of their house in Nakhon Nayok, central Thailand on September 6.

While sharing stories with her sister, the sleepy dog Kati then went under the hammock to rest during the hot afternoon.

But before the dog could set itself in a relaxed sleeping position, the playful owner started to swing the hammock and lightly hit the pooch's head back and forth.

The sisters burst out in laughter after Kati stood up, apparently confused about what was happening.

Even when it was hit a few more times, the dog just stood there distracted by the swinging hammock.

Lugkhana said: "It was funny that Kati did not move out of the spot. Maybe she wants to be the center of attention, even if it was hit underneath."
