Usually, dogs love cuddling, getting treats from their fur parents, and running around and play with their friends. Furthermore, when people think of giving them toys to play with, they would usually give them ones that they can chew on. However, there is one dog out there who prefers something out of the ordinary.
Bonzo is a rottweiler who loves carrying a 30-pound dumbbell in his mouth.
This started when Bonzo’s owner, Derek Plante, was lifting weights in their house in Rhode Island. The moment Bonzo laid eyes on the dumbbell, he immediately felt an everlasting connection with it!
Derek noticed that his dog loved carrying heavy things. But he never thought that a 30-pound dumbbell would be one of those things!
One time, their family hosted a party in their house. Derek’s niece, Yesenia Rego, witnessed the magnificent connection between Bonzo and his dumbbell. She was able to capture it in a video and later posted it on Twitter.
It did not take much time for the video to attract millions of views and to become viral. In fact, several news outlets reached out to them to get the chance to feature the video!
Although a lot of people were impressed by the feats that Bonzo showed, there were some people who expressed their concerns toward the dog. They are worried that the dumbbell may harm Bonzo’s teeth.
However, Yesenia immediately reassured them. According to her, Bonzo puts the dumbbell in the space between his front teeth.
By doing this, he can let the dumbbell rest on his gums, making it possible for him to carry it. Yesenia also added that Bonzo has been doing it for several years already.
In the end, Bonzo got what he really wanted which is attention, and to impress people.
Not only the people in their house party got to see it. But also the millions of viewers who got to witness his extraordinary relationship with his dumbbell.
