You're about to see Chip fail at a trick. Wait for it ... 

Chip is about two and a half years old, and he's usually pretty good at tricks. 

This mishap was an exception. 

While the fall is funny, Chip's story is actually pretty amazing. We chatted with his owner, Missan, via Skype:

"Chip came a year ago. ... He and his ... brother was chained inside of a shed."

Missan told us Chip first came to her through a foster program called Friends Forever, which takes dogs from Ireland and sends them to families in Sweden, where she lives.

"When he got here, we fostered him first ... but I fell in love with him. ... But as soon as you looked at him, he would hide in a corner and shiver."

Missan says Chip has gotten a lot better and will even greet people and is very happy. He also gets along with her other dog, Fred. 

"He wants attention 24/7."

And just to prove Chip does have some doggy talent, check out this non-fail. Doggone adorable.
