Gus the cockapoo from the UK was ultra determined to keep a creepy, crawly secret.

Much to the delight of TikTok users, Gus' owner posted a video of the funny encounter to the pup's account on Wednesday, and it's brought on lots of laughs.

In the now-viral clip, Gus crouches on the carpet, where he is obviously hiding something underneath his right paw.

The owner asks the dog several times what exactly he is up to, but the puppy doesn't budge.

"What is it?" the pet owner playfully asks. "Show me what you've got!"

Gus keeps up the act for as long as possible, until he finally caves.

"Wait until the end," the clip is captioned, as his owner certainly had a spidey sense.
