Today's Adorable Animal Video

7/7/2020

We haven't had a video from the wonderful folks at The Dodo for a while, so let's rectify that. There's nothing especially dramatically notable about this one, but it's just so sweet and fits the definition perfectly.

My one quibble. Regardless of what the description says, I think this is about a dog doing everything it can to show a cat how much it likes it and just wants to play, until the cat finally gets it.

The video is amusing, but it's the text in the tweet setting it up that, to me, is what makes this a hoot.

This is, of course, not even the closest to the "greatest of all tweets," but it sure is a lot of fun.

As someone commenting on it wrote, "At first I thought the dog was being mean, but then I realized he just wanted to make sure they got a good family portrait."

Actually, this will be three videos. I thought about posting them one at a time, but they all fit together so nicely I thought it best to just make it trilogy set.

They come with thanks to the inveterate Chris Dunn for bringing this to my attention. To be more accurate, he brought the third of these to my attention, and when I looked to find out more about the guy, it turned out that he's done a series of others.

These are play-by-play videos by Andrew Cotter about his two dogs, Mable and Olive. It turns out that he is an actual BBC sportscaster, and (as he notes on one of his tweets) he was bored during this coronavirus shutdown without any sports to broadcast.

As far as I can tell, this is the first one --

He follows it with a rematch.

Fun fact, an article about the videos (and this in particular) made note that the voiceover and final line was all done after-the-fact and edited onto the video later, in case people didn’t like what he says at the end….

And finally, this was the video that Chris sent me --

Just while I wait for them to have an actual rematch. pic.twitter.com/yVsaXD9bNS

Without too much difficulty, you’ll know where this is going -- but it still has somewhat of a funny twist on how, in the end, it gets there.

A few days ago, my pal Mark Evanier had a very funny video about a white Labrador retriever called "Stella's Best Leaf Jumps of All Time." It's great fun and worth checking out here.

I was intrigued and did a little of my own exploring. It turns out that there are a whole bunch of videos about Stella, under the heading of "A Dog Named Stella." They're an awful lot of fun. Stella really is quite the hoot.

Here's one I particularly enjoyed. "The Struggles of Stella."
