People are letting their dogs take the Egg Challenge. It's much better than Tide Pods.

Try not to squeal with joy.

Unlike the Tide Pod challenge, a new internet trend of putting inedible stuff in our mouths isn't going to make you roll your eyes.

Twitter has been inspired by Sookie the golden retriever who oh-so-gently held an egg in her mouth recently. And now, people are testing their own pups with the Egg Challenge, where you basically force an egg into your doggo's mouth and see if they don't break it.

This challenge is not restricted by breed, and all different types of dogs are stepping up.

But not every pup is up to the task, like this overly enthusiastic German shepherd.

Meanwhile, this golden doodle was not into the egg challenge, period.

This pit bull did a great job with the holding-in-the-mouth thing, but then decided to run off with the egg.

And as for this little corgi, well, the egg was simply too big for his mouth.

Turns out that this egg thing is harder than it looks, because even some golden retrievers flubbed up.

Even if the dogs dropped the eggs—or ran away with the eggs or ran away from the eggs—they are all still good doggos.
