Son pranks mom with stuffed dog

James bought a stuffed dog for his brother's 15th birthday, but soon found that their mother couldn't look at it without screaming hysterically.

In the caption to the YouTube video, he wrote, "My mom did not like it. Scared her about 5 times within 3 minutes." He told TODAY, "She hasn't tried to get me back," and adds, "Although the fake dog did disappear to an unknown location for a few weeks until my little brother finally found him again."

One can only imagine how she would react to a real dog!
