A video that shows a dog joyfully playing with a ball by balancing it on its head is winning over netizens. The undated video shows the dog skillfully trying to keep the ball afloat and chasing after it when it falls. This undated video was posted online by an X user, @paulsla1539372, on August 19. Interestingly, this clip was taken from TikTok user @betsbutterfly0. So far, the video has over 2.5 million views and over 36,000 likes. In the comments, many people joked that the dog should be signed by a sports club. Commenting on the post, an X user wrote, “There needs to be a Dog Olympics for dogs who do cool random stuff. Not like the Westminster Dog Show or the dogs that are trained to run obstacle courses. I want to see dogs doing weird things they’ve figured out themselves.” Another person wrote, “IF you are not laughing and smiling watching this, check yr pulse. This little dog playing with a ball as big as the dog is having the time of its life. Whatta joyful, talented, playful doggie! Great vid to remind us of simple joys!”. In September last year, a similar video from Turkey went viral. The 25-second video, taken on the streets of Istanbul, showed a dog chasing after a heart-shaped balloon and hitting it with its head every time the balloon came closer to the ground. In February this year, a video showing a pack of Border Collies chasing a balloon and taking turns to leap and push it up in the air went viral. The 16-second clip was shared on X by a popular account that goes by the name Buitengebieden (@buitengebieden). In less than a day, it gathered over 1.6 million views and thousands of likes.
