The other day, Brandon Ryan Rudowski was in his car near his home in Canada when he noticed something quite unusual. There, strolling past him on the sidewalk, was a fluffy black dog — walking on two feet. Like a person. “I have never seen this before!” Rudowski told The Dodo.

The happy, bipedal pup wasn’t alone. His owner was close behind, holding his leash, seemingly unfazed by her pet’s human-like way of getting around. Rudowski’s reaction was a little different. “I thought, ‘No, I’m just seeing things,’” he wrote.

Here’s video of the walking dog in action:

To confirm that the pet Rudowski spotted that day was indeed a pup (and not, say, a human in a dog costume), The Dodo reached out to Colleen Susko. She’s friends with the dog’s owner, and confirms that the scene above is legit. “The dog's name is Eli. He's a miniature poodle. He's always done that,” Susko told The Dodo, adding that it’s not the result of training, but rather something he does naturally when he’s excited.
