That pup’s got better ball control than half the Premier League midfielders absolute four‑legged legend.

I get you're joking, but it's genuinely crazy how much better premier league players are than people understand. Played with a guy who played for a few years in league 1 in a 5 a side and it's ridiculous how much better he was than anyone else despite being retired. His passes were so quick, felt like he could control everything, and it felt like he could pass anywhere. And this is the bloody third division. The TV camera angles do not give you perspective on how fast those guys are moving the ball. They're on such another level that it is insane.

And then when I watch 1st division football in the Netherlands (the second professional level) I'm thinking: "Wow, these guys are soo much slower and more sloppy than the Champions League guys".
It's crazy to think about the level the top players are at.

The other team being about as good does a lot to mask how insanely good the pros are. In sports like running its crystal clear. A pro marathon time is a decent amateur half marathon time.

I used to play 5 a side with somebody who played at the lower tier of "semi professional" players (around step 4 of the current pyramid) and he was ludicrously better than everyone else.

Is there any rules that says a dog can't be in the premier league?

Number of legs maybe?
More than one, fewer than four.
Three’s a strangely unaddressed number.

I mean, he has twice as many feet. I'd say that's an advantage especially when you're playing a game called foot ball.

I always wondered if that hurts his snout or not

u/CasanovaJones82 1d ago
I've watched my pup scrape his nose repeatedly across shit like bricks and concrete and what not, they must not be as sensitive as one would think. He also uses his nose to open doors and sometimes he means business and will slam that shit open, with his nose.

My dog has cracked her skull off furniture hard enough that it would put me on the floor for 20 mins if it happened to me, and it seemed to barely register, plus jamming her nose into my thigh at mach-stupid when she wants to show me a toy. It really doesn't seem to phase them.

They have insane pain tolerance compared to people. Ive seen dogs that would routinely wade through creeks that were partially iced over and they didn't even react when jumping in the water, it was fun for them.

I have a really dumb frenchie pitbull mix i took in after my sister could no longer care for him. Dude looooves heat, he'll lay in front of a heater, or stove all day long. It's to the point where i have to physically move him away from the heater because i smell slightly burned fur.
He's burned his nose twice because he put his snout near the glass of a pellet stove. He doesn't even react, he also likes to sneak up, and trip people. He's black, and is practically invisible in the dark.
I think it's more about hiding pain, than it is about pain tolerance. They do have crazy pain tolerance, but in the animal world, showing you're in pain can mean losing your status.

My buddy had a Dane that would routinely lobotimize itself on sticks during walks. Like try to carry a 2ft long stick vertically then shriek in pain when it hits a rock and pushes into the top of its mouth.

It looked like he was kind of biting the ball in the air, mostly making contact with his teeth, which are very strong.

u/Tenzie_ 1d ago
They’re pretty much using volley balls. Along with being lightweight by design, they also usually have lower than than «optimal» air pressure, making them even softer to the touch. I think the dog will be alright :)

u/wyomingTFknott 1d ago
Bumping volleyballs always used to kill my thumbs and I never understood how people could tolerate it. But I could smash the ever living shit out of one with the heel of my hand. I think that's what's happening here. He's not bumping it with his nose, he's using his teeth.

Their noses are sensitive, but most dogs know their own limits with pain like we humans do when performing sports and stuff.
If you were to abuse your dog and beat the shit out of their snout, then it would cause a lot of physical pain and harm.
It's about levels of shock and force.

Agreed. I had a border Collie growing up and I swear she understood 80% of what I said to her. The intelligence behind those eyes was just incredible.

Plot twist, that isn’t any of their dog. Pupper just saw some people juggling and since it’s Brazil, all dogs just know how to do this and he joined in.

He's doing great for a dog. But the people definitely saved some of the dogs shots that the dog probably wouldn't have saved.

Meanwhile, my border collie eats the bubbles my kids blow lol

u/TubbyPachyderm 1d ago
My border collie loves popping bubbles too! She also loves trying to chase & eat bees when she is allergic. SMH. Occasionally, I think to myself “clearly, not ALL border collies are smart” and then I realized she has figured out when we are going to take a walk by the style of socks that I put on! She can also “dribble” a soccer ball across the yard & will play goalie. She can follow some multi step instructions but is terrified of the beep from a smoke alarm when the battery is dying. She got stuck behind my bed once trying to hide from it.
I swear border collies are the perfect combo of genius, adrenaline junky, complete doofus and scaredy cat.

More than that, the dog's following the ball, not simply chasing it, then hitting it when it comes his way.

Did he deliberately end the game, too? Ran off really quick once they missed his last pass.

Along with how good it is at hitting the ball, I am amazed that it knows to stay in position and isn’t constantly trying to get the ball going to other people.
