One sweet pup’s evident passion for the sport of horse racing is absolutely charming and pretty hilarious.

Many people's favorite pastimes and hobbies involve sports. Either watching or participating in them, athletics and competition consume much of their spare time. Entire television networks cater to sports fans, creating entire channels with sports-centric programs. ESPN, Fox Sports, The Big Ten Network and Bally Sports are just a few of them.

Whether baseball, football, basketball or soccer, individuals enjoy seeing their favorite team triumph over the competition. Many fans get super into a particular sport or team, living vicariously through them. When talking about a team, some people may even use “we” as if they are members of the team themselves.

A short but hilarious clip on social media shows that sports fanaticism does not stop with human beings. Even those in the furry and four-legged community enjoy sports. However, the video shows a sweet pup who gets into horse racing instead of a team sport like baseball or football.

The 20-second video starts with a dog on its hind legs and its front legs on the top of a piece of furniture, which rests underneath a television. The animal is intensely focused on a horse race, staring at the screen. It’s only seconds before the horses are released and the race begins.

The tension in the room is palpable as the dog awaits the beginning of the horse race. Seconds into the clip, the horses are finally off. But things get even cuter as the dog hilariously reacts to the horses galloping toward the finish line.

The dog starts jumping in the air and barking at the horses on the screen. It’s unclear if the animal had a favorite or perhaps it had money wagered on a specific horse, which could maybe explain its enthusiasm for horse racing.
