Try Not To Smile at This Dog Running With a Huge Stick: ‘So Proud’

Video footage of a dog racing through a stunning woodland spot with a ginormous stick has delighted audiences across social media.

The viral video captured the JoJo the dog sprinting confidently with the enormous stick, which looks to have fallen from the tree and been claimed by the pup.

The video was captioned: “So fast. So graceful. Such a good boi.”

“It takes a few tries and sometimes he has to break off a few twigs or munch through the center but he always balances [the stick] perfect,” JoJo’s owner responded to TikTokers below the line.

JoJo clearly loves picking up a stick or two while out with his owner. The dog’s owner has created an album on the TikTok account that houses a total of 27 videos of the pooch doing exactly the same thing. It appears that his talents aren’t limited to running with sticks four times his size, as the pup has been filmed putting his hunting skills to good use by digging for and retrieving the sticks that he goes on to play with.

The Humane Society Naples writes online that playing fetch with your pup, or giving them the opportunity to run free with sticks and balls in the park could strengthen the bond between you both.

“Fetch is an interactive game that encourages the bond between human and dog, cementing your position as the ‘alpha’ as you command your dog to retrieve objects for you,” the animal welfare organization writes online.
