We can safely call it a acrobat dog. The puppy protagonist of this story, in fact, has become famous on the internet for his ability to balance objects on the butt. The dog in question is called Ollie and is a handsome chocolate-colored Labrador.
In a video released on July 23, you can see this canine circus artist while extending the front legs and raising the hind leg towards the other, as in the prayer position (the one assumed by dogs usually or when they want to play or when they have severe abdominal pain as in the case of acute pancreatitis).
Then his humans place a glass of water, a glass of wine, a teapot, a cup of coffee and various other objects on his butt and the dog keeps them perfectly balanced, never letting them fall and also allowing himself to look curiously around.
Needless to say, the video in question quickly went viral: it has obtained more than 30 million views, more than 5.5 million reactions and thousands of comments from users enthusiastic about its performance (for sure now they have even increased).
Furthermore, the dog, in addition to keeping objects in balance, also seemed to move his nose to the rhythm of music, as observed by a user.
The acrobat dog is now a star
Given the success of the first video, his humans then decided to make a second one. So they published a second where Ollie balances food this time: on his butt there are cans of food, a jar of Nutella, a packet of donuts, bananas, a box of Cheerios and even a whole pineapple. Ollie is spectacular: he never drops anything.
