A man’s plan to get artificial teeth and use them to make himself laugh when he was alone ended up working out better than he could have dreamed. Ben Campbell, a Michigan resident, believed that having absurdly enormous teeth would make him feel better. He may have also hoped that by posting some hilarious selfies, others would also feel better.

Thomas the Yorkshire terrier, however, had other ideas, and the impulsive purchase has since made hundreds of thousands of people laugh instead. Thomas made his move after realizing that Ben, a psychologist by profession, had left the dentures unattended on the desk.

It was to be predicted that the puppy would chew the set of teeth into a thousand pieces once he got his paws on them. Instead, he decided to simply carry them around the house in his mouth; somehow, picking them up the proper way around since he knew we could use a burst of laughter right now.

Little Thomas was left with the most brilliant, dazzling smile and the whitest, straightest teeth he could have ever imagined. Thomas became even more insistent on keeping the dentures once Ben chose to record his attempts to retrieve them, and he appeared to take great pleasure in doing so. Ben laughs hysterically as his Yorkshire terrierĀ keeps dodging him and asks, “Thomas, what are you doing?”

The terrier is determined to maintain his new set of pearly whites throughout the encounter, but his rebellious act fails to pass easily due to his funny new look. Thomas has become the hero nobody knew they needed, and as a result, his clip has gained millions of views on YouTube.
