Watch This Bulldog Hilariously Outsmart the Tape Challenge with Ease
We've all seen the viral tape challenge, which tasks pets with getting over a wall of packing or shipping tape. The challenge tests our furry friends' ability to navigate past obstacles and often produces the most hilarious moments. At an absolute shock to no one, cats have dominated the trends, with our feline friends easily jumping over and through the tape. Dogs, on the other hand, have had a few more problems with completing the trend.
However, this English bulldog definitely made a point for team dog with a genius hack to dominate the tape challenge without having to do unnecessary jumping. While it might seem difficult to imagine a sturdy Bulldog making it over the tape blocking the door, no one should ever doubt Odie's intelligence.

Without any type of strenuous activity like jumping, Odie proved that you don't need to be agile to complete this trend. Tasked with having to make it over a wall of tape set up on a doorway, Odie managed to silence his doubters with one swoop.
Taking on varying degrees of challenge, Odie won every level with absolute ease. His secret? Obviously, pawing the tape until it fell. When the tape proved too high for him to karate-chop down, Odie simply used his squishy face or mouth to take it down and walk through with no problem.

While Odie's doubters might say he "cheated," we would argue he found a loophole in the challenge. At the end of the day, no one said he had to jump over the tape to win. Odie got through the tape without a problem, and we will definitely give him that win.
In the comments, Odie's fans were rooting for him every step of the way. "Chubby but athletic, i relate," added one viewer. Another commenter added to the fun with, "Bro was like Catherine Zeta-jones going through those tapes!!!" However, the best description of this clip was given by one user who simply stated, "Who needs a ladder when you have a bulldozer ha, ha."
All in all, we have to admit, Odie's slyness and tact definitely got him over the line on this challenge.
