This is the hilarious clip Sage the Australian cattle dog "freezes" every time his owner looks at him.

The clip, filmed on January 14 in Texas, shows the moment the pup is smiling and panting but instantly stops as soon as his owner looks at him.

"I just found it funny and different and I was at work with nothing to do, every time I would look at my dog, Sage, he would stop breathing/smiling and just look at me," the filmer told Newsflare.
