That dog is living the champion lifestyle. I wonder if it knows the people are cheering for it and it feels proud. Looks like its locked in when you see it eyes in the beginning.
People tend to forget that dogs were working animals for much of history. You don’t just get rid of that with a short amount of pet years. They’re hard wired to work. That’s why they dig, herd, hunt, protect, etc.
Whenever we're planting our flowers/food plants every year our dog sees us digging and get hyped up to dig with us. We started getting an extra tomato plant to put wherever her hole is and I think it's adorable.
My sister in law has a dog with some shepherding dog mixed in, if we aren't all in the same room, she will visit each and every person and try to get them to all be in the same room. Fortunately she doesn't nip, but she will very much try to lead us all into the living room, and go get anyone that is not in the living room
My sister has a bordoodle, and we were at the beach one day. The dog kept very cautiously approaching the water and backing away.
The five of us stood there encouraging her enthusiastically until I swear she looked around and decided to give the people what they wanted. She bolted into the ocean, swam.about 20 metres out, and came straight back.
Everyone was cheering, and she had a genuine look of pride on her face. She then went up to each of us individually for a pat and acknowledgement of her triumph. So I'm pretty sure the doggo in this video knew she'd just done something awesome.
