It turns out it's not just humans who enjoy watching the sports as a golden retriever has proven.
A young dog named Willow has become a hit on TikTok after becoming so enthralled with in the Tokyo Olympics footage on TV that she began copying the movements.
All the equestrian sports at the games are magnificent to watch, but it seems dressage was the event of choice for Willow who was captured trotting along to the coverage.
The TikTok video has amassed just shy of 600,000 views - and it seems it's not just Willow who is enjoying the Olympics.
One user said: “Is this a Golden thing? It’s the only event mine has taken any interest in.”
Another said: “My lurcher Daisy is terrified of horses but loves all of the events in the Olympics that involve a ball.”
A third commented: “Our dog did the exact same thing. I was so surprised!”
The event was a great success for Team GB as they took home a bronze, making it Charlotte Dujardin’s fifth Olympic medal.
Maybe for the 2024 Olympics, they should consider Doggo Dressage? We think it would go down a real treat!
