Some dogs are convinced they have discovered a foolproof hiding spot, even when it is obvious to everyone else in the room. That is exactly the energy in a short video shared by the Instagram profile @camphusky, where a calm dining room scene turns into a tiny comedy sketch the moment you look a little closer. Behind a white curtain stands Delta the husky, pressed right up against the fabric as if it could erase him from view. His silhouette is so clear that it feels like the punchline arrives before the “reveal” even happens.
Delta’s logic seems simple and wonderfully confident. If he stays perfectly still behind the curtain, he must be invisible. Never mind that his nose is peeking out, as if it cannot help checking whether the coast is clear. In his mind, the plan is working, and that certainty is what makes the moment so charming.
Then his owner, Hailey, walks toward him and the fantasy starts to wobble. Delta does not budge, holding his pose like a professional actor who refuses to break character. Even when Hailey is close enough that there is no doubt he has been “found,” he keeps standing there, committed to the bit. It is the kind of determination that feels very husky, equal parts bold, hopeful, and stubborn.
The detail that truly gives him away is his tail. When Hailey finally stops directly in front of the curtain, Delta looks at her and his tail starts wagging with dramatic enthusiasm. It is not a subtle little flick that you might miss. The wagging sends ripples through the curtain, turning the fabric into a moving backdrop like a flag catching the wind.
What makes it so sweet is that Delta does not seem embarrassed in the slightest. His body language reads like pure excitement, as if being discovered is just another fun part of the game. The caption on the post notes that Delta loves playing hide and seek, and it shows in the way he stays planted in his “safe spot” while his tail celebrates anyway. He is both hiding and cheering at the same time, which is somehow the most relatable thing.
Viewers in the comments clearly felt the same. People pointed out his gorgeous face and could not get over how happily he wagged, even while trying to pretend he was unseen. There is something irresistible about a dog following his own rules when the stakes are nothing more than attention and play.
