On a busy street in Poland around August 3, some people noticed a neon yellow ball fall in front of them or on them. When they looked up they were met with a dog’s head sticking out of a balcony, eager to play fetch.
In a viral video posted on TikTok by user ona.clay.ring, the dog is seen dropping what seems to be a tennis ball from the balcony of a first floor apartment. Strangers walking by the apartment stopped to pick up the ball and throw it back to the dog.
However, the dog doesn’t continue playing with the same stranger. It instead waits for another person and then drops the ball to play with them. The video that garnered over 17.7 million views and over 2 million likes, had netizens gushing over the smart and adorable dog.
One comment read, “Love how he waits and picks his next partner.” Another comment read, “He knows how to pick who’s going to play with him.”
One user even said they would cancel their plans and “play ball all day.”
But it was one comment on the video that caught the attention of user @ona.clay.ring, which said “Where’s part 2. I could watch this all day.” This lead to the creator of the video to post a part 2 around August 6.
The second video went viral as well, garnering over 12.1 million views and over 1.1 million likes. This video showed the dog trying to pick people to play fetch with. One user commented on the video saying, “I’d be there till dark playing fetch with balcony dog.”
While some users went to extent of writing comments directed towards their employers saying, “Sorry boss I can’t come back to the office I have a bigger commitment.” While another user noted, “He’s waiting to make eye contact before dropping the ball, so precious.”
Another comment read, “He’s mastered his craft. He knows exactly how to time it lol.” These videos even lead to a Tiktok user hilariously noting, “Dog teaches human to fetch.”
TikTok user fitwero also posted a video of the dog playing fetch with a small group of children. The video which garnered over 800,000 views shows the dog playing with a small group of children. It also shows the dog accidentally dropping the ball on a stranger’s head as he passed by.
