This beatboxing dog sure knows how to work for his treats--by growling as his owner moves his jaw in a rhythmic fashion. It seems as if the blogosphere can't get enough of funny pet videos (Keyboard Cat, anyone?), as this short clip has already been picked up by CollegeHumor and Break.com. While the identity of the beatboxing dog and his percussion-playing owner are unknown, one thing's for certain--he's got a future in hip-hop.
See the original beatboxing dog video above. Is that turf talking I hear at the ten-second mark? I can't wait for Snoop's reaction.
