Turns Out, Dogs Like Watching Other Dogs on TV

It's Friday so a floof piece is in order.

Like humans, not all dogs are alike, but there does seem to be one thing they all have in common (besides fur and boop-able noses): They like watching other doggos grace the television screen. True solidarity.

It's the National Dog Show in the U.S. today, which means the nation stops to watch dogs and their owners parade around showing what good dogs they are; a tradition that has existed since 1879. (Um, where's Australia's equivalent?) 

So, naturally, as Americans tune in, their own dogs do too. It's fluffin' adorable.

Watching the National Dog Show. One Vizsla is a show dog, the other just a show-off dog with a peanut butter jar. pic.twitter.com/ybaqIhmjeZ
