To this day, the only thing we’ve ever been able to train our dog to do is sit before his dinner, and sometimes he can’t even master that. So it always blows our minds when we see dogs putting on an amazing performance at Crufts. The question that’s always on our minds is simply, how do you train them like that? How do you get an animal to do what you want? Are we just that much of a bad dog mom?
With these thoughts in mind, when we stumbled across a video of a dog at Crufts not only being able to sit, beg, and roll over on command, but also performing squats, CPR and the kiss of life, we were more than mind blown – and we just knew that we’d have to share it with you.
The video of the amazingly talented pup was uploaded onto YouTube. We have to admit that some parts left us a little teary-eyed!
The video was posted by Crufts and captioned:
“Italy’s Lusy Imbergerova & Deril amaze crowds at Crufts 2017 with their incredible freestyle heelwork to music routine! Lusy was tied for first but just missed out on taking the crown!“
It now has over 35 million views, as people couldn’t get over this incredible routine.
Lusy begins by lying on the floor with a blanket on top of her before Deril pulls the blanket off and the tricks begin. The routine appears to be military-themed, and Deril’s army-style march mimics the march of our troops perfectly!
Next up, it’s time for a workout. As Lusy begins to squat, the crowd goes wild as the German Shepherd gets up onto his back legs and also squats down with her. Just look at his incredible balancing skills!
After squats comes the sit-ups, and Deril is there to provide moral support in the form of a little bow of his head every time Lusy brings her face up to his. What a clever boy!
We then move onto push-ups, but Deril doesn’t seem to keen to do these. We can’t say we blame him!
The routine is so full of drama, and we can honestly say we’ve never seen anything like it before! After some army-style crawling, Deril brings Lusy a bomb, and the pair run off in opposite directions before it explodes with a boom.
Lusy falls to the floor, and this is where things really get going.
In a moment that brought tears to our eyes, Deril runs over to his master and begins to pound on her chest with his two front paws. He’s clearly showing off his CPR skills, and it’s the most adorable thing we’ve ever seen!
But that’s not all – Deril even moves his face over to Lusy’s and gives her mouth a couple of licks. The kiss of life!
After successfully resuscitating his owner, Deril walks to the judges’ platform with Lusy to loud cheers from the crowd. As the music fades out, Lusy holds her hand up in salute, and Deril gives his best salute as well! Could this get any cuter?
After pulling off such an awesome routine, we’re amazed that this military duo didn’t win – so we can imagine that it was a very close call!
Regardless of the outcome, Deril is the winner in our eyes! Watch the incredible routine below.
