Few thing are quite as impressive as dogs — who by some feat of incredible patience by their trainers — manage to learn to do human things.
A few examples might the German Shepherd who helps his owner load the dishwater (and who among us couldn't use the extra hand at dishes?), or the dogs Holly and Ace, trained by Dai Aoki, who share a sweet embrace on command (and one that'll make you jealous of puppy hugs). These are things that shouldn't necessarily be easily carried out by canines, but somehow manage to impress us just the same.
It should therefore come as no small wonder that someone's taught a dog how to hula hoop. Or rather, it appears he may be an autodidactic hula hooper — a self-made master of the ring. And while there isn't a lot of hip motion keeping this hula hoop up, he certainly manages to run in circles just fine (he does have four legs, after all).
Another possibility is that he's simply invented a game wherein he's locked himself inside a giant, circular fetch stick and he's yet to figure a way out — either way, it's pretty stinkin' cute.
