Someone get this dog a trampoline!

I think my cats would have a blast on a trampoline.

u/TallOlivePeople avatar

Someone here wants to test the 9 cat lives theory, they would launch themselves flying just to test it out.

If I remember correctly, that dog is actually the one in the video.

u/basssnobnj avatar

That's how I remember it, too.

If I see myself on tv, I’m gonna be jumping too

I’M A MOVIE STAR!!!!

You are correct

I was going to say, isn’t he the actor?

I thought the same thing! Tried Googling and I think I may have mistaken it for this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/gtqs79/dog_jumps_for_joy_when_he_recognizes_himself_on_tv/

u/WittyUsername816 avatar

That may also be the case but this one is also the dog recognizing herself on TV.

Oh cool, I couldn't find any sources, but you must have. Link?

u/WittyUsername816 avatar

Well i just went through the versions of this on the top posts of aww and couldnt find the comments. I might just be going senile...

I was wondering, cause it looked just like him.

Sadly my dog doesn’t even acknowledge that the TV exists

u/view-master avatar

Our TV is a big flat screen mounted to an outside wall to the backyard. For years our dog was convinced everything was happening in the backyard and would dart outside to get a closer look.

u/halfdead01 avatar

I had a boxer that never paid any attention to the TV. It’s like it wasn’t even there. I got another boxer who will sit and watch animal planet, perks up when dogs come on TV, and generally knows what is happening on the TV.

Very strange how individual dogs of the same breed are so different.

I can't get my cat to look at anything on a screen. I don't know what this is about. It's really interesting.

My cats love watching videos of themselves :-D

EDIT:

Couldn't find a pic, but still gotta pay the cat tax

Mine either! I’ve never had a dog that did so I’m always a bit confused by these videos.

u/Moonalicious avatar

I think newer tvs have a resolution dogs can actually see, whereas older ones they couldnt

u/Sirius_Testicles avatar

"Because dogs can resolve flickers at 75 Hz, a TV screen probably appears to be rapidly flickering to dogs. This rapid flicker will make the images appear to be less real, and thus many dogs do not direct much attention to it."

Maybe you’re not watching the right shows? Our dog loves certain shows that we didn’t recognize until he was a few years old. Certain cartoons mostly, and the old Robin Hood cartoon is the only thing that will calm him during big storms. He also loves the opening of “criminal minds” and will watch even the scary parts. Similar content shows are a non-starter though. We don’t know if he likes it until we put it on and see if he walks away or hops in the couch to watch.

...he does also ask for the fireplace to be lit so he can sit and watch that though, too... it could be just to confuse us.

Some dogs just want to watch the world burn. I'd keep an eye on him, though.

u/TakeOptionZ avatar

Bro, I get it though... I’ve fallen asleep so many times to watching a fire. When contained, it’s oddly calming... contained being the key.

My dog growls every time she sees a person on the TV. Make sure extremely uncomfortable with the TV.

Well that was cute

Boxers are the funniest, derppist and most loyal dogs. I wish I had one.

This brightened up my day. Too cute

oh god that look at the end. "i do good?"

u/TakeOptionZ avatar

So good, pupper, all the good.

u/BlancoMuerte avatar

They way the pup looks back is what did it for me.

I think it's so interesting that some dogs understand perspective images that they would never see in real life and be able to replicate it

Pretty sure the dog in the video was the same one on the TV.

That is one of the John Lewis Department Store Christmas commercials. They are worth checking out on YouTube. People in England have John Lewis commercial reveal parties, like we have Superbowl parties.

Life pro-tip: do not loom over a happy boxer. You will get a bloody nose.

Soooooo darn cutee

Bouncy bouncy! What an adorable pup!

u/Olivevest avatar

I love this pup. A lot

u/just_a_pawn37927 avatar

Ok where do I ship the trampoline?

I thought that dog was going to jump directly into the TV for a sec

Equal and accurate representation makes EVERYONE happy lol

My friend has a dog that goes crazy barking at anything that isn’t a small dog. We watched something that had a T-Rex in it and he goes ape shit. I’m like dog if he were real, he would squish you in an instant.

Boxers are always looking for a reason to jump but don't need one. My favorite breed. Just so happy to be here.

Sorry do you have 3 google mini's as your sound system?

u/MargarinePhilosopher avatar

I didn't read the subreddit name so I automatically assumed the dog was gonna jump into the TV

u/ssteve631 avatar

It's that 3 Google home mini's or 3 rocks in front of the TV?

How often does that tail clear the table for you?

u/sweadle avatar

Boxers have springs for legs.

Do NOT show him Cujo!

Was wondering when this post would make the rounds again lol

u/Lidia385 avatar

Haha my dog can jump higher than that. He’s a Rottweiler. 😑

Boxers are the Ralph Wiggum of dogs

u/the_rib_robber avatar

Made my day. ♥️

Boxers so such goddamn sproingy dogs

u/TakeOptionZ avatar

Obviously, he’s the stunt-dog, and he’s trying to prove it... he even looks back at the camera person like “ya see it?”

My red heeler jumped on my kids trampoline. It was a sad day when the land hurricane made the tramp into a taco.

That was a sad pupper looking at her tramp all broken.

Boxers have long tails?

Buy him a trampoline now because you have awoken the ancient one, or suffer

[deleted]
[deleted]

Get that sweet angel a trampoline now lol

I agree with you

u/forced_metaphor avatar

I like to think that's him in the commercial, and he's sadly reliving his glory days, watching his one claim to fame and acting it out again

THIS MADE MY ENTIRE YEAR 2020 no longer sucks cause that happened.

Boxers are smart dogs

How is that add called?

*insert boing sounds here*

Too cute!
