This is the adorable moment a dog plays dead - so he doesn't have to go in the shower. <br /><br />The one-year-old Bang Kaew, named Nguang, was at home when his owner tried to lift him into the bathroom. <br /><br />But the crafty pooch simply let his body go limp and his head flopped to sideways. <br /><br />Owner, Nong Kanokwan, filmed her partner struggling with the dog in Chachoengsao, eastern Thailand on May 7. <br /><br />She said: ''Our dog is very smart and a very good actor. A lot of people thought he was unconscious in the video. But he was pretending to be dead because he knew it was shower time.''<br /><br />The couple eventually managed to lift their pet into the bathroom where they shampooed his white fur. <br /><br />The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a popular Asian dog breed and is often compared to a husky.
