10 dogs who absolutely killed it at the cheese challenge, and 1 who tried his best.

The cheese challenge is still going strong.

People have been throwing cheese on cats, dogs, and most recently at their babies, for quite a while now. But the trend has picked back up, and we're OK with that.

The resurgence started with the Dog Cheese. People started throwing cheese on their dogs, typically on their back. Recently it escalated to people throwing cheese at their children's face in the Baby Cheese Challenge. Now we have circled back to dogs, but throwing it at their face this time. The trouble is, most dogs are too quick to let the cheese even land on them.
