A Pet Owner in Taiwan Has the Uncanny Ability to Tickle Her Adorable Pup in a Way that Makes it Look Like She’s Actually Playing a Musical Instrument - What Are Your Thoughts?


Most of us do something pretty ridiculous things to our pets – especially our dogs. Some people dress their canines in little doggie clothes they would probably yell at us for making them wear, while some make their pups get manicures and pedicures at doggie parlors. Others dye their dogs’ fur all colors under the sun, and then some. However, nothing can touch the video where a woman plays her dog like a musical instrument. Yes, that happened!

A pet owner in Taiwan has the uncanny ability to tickle her adorable pup in a way that makes it look like she’s actually playing some strings on her. The University of Taiwan student uploaded the video of herself onto Facebook “playing” her dog like an instrument.

Wonder what that would actually sound like! The puppy looks to be game and even kicks her foot to the beat while her owner “strums” her, with the canine looking like one super-cute dog instrument.

The video of owner and pup has since gone viral and has been viewed and shared around the world, catapulting the instrument dog to getting international love! Watch the video below to see the adorable, “music making” pup.
