Dogs and TVs make a hilarious combination. Because of their inherent capabilities, they can easily recognize that images on the screen are real-life, too. But more often than not, we see funny dogs watching TV and reacting very strangely than humans do, just like this adorable border collie.
Kirk is not just your average pooch. You see, she is born a champion and an athlete. Competing in numerous agility tournaments across the United States, Kirk and her fur mom, Channan Fosty, had brought home tons of blue ribbons and awards ever since.
One of her proudest feats was in 2017 when Kirk clinched the championship title at the national finals of the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. Displaying her flexibility and speed, the pup was able to finish the obstacle course in just under 34 seconds!
For a well-trained pooch like her, it came as no surprise at all. After all, border collies really excel at agility, thanks to their herding instincts and capabilities.
Channan is very proud of Kirk’s accomplishment, of course. And now and then, she would rewatch the winning run with Kirk. However, whenever the pup sees herself on TV, she freaks out in the most hilarious way possible.
At the start of the footage, Kirk would patiently sit in front of the TV as the announcers introduce her to the crowd. But when the run begins, she would basically bounce in delight. While the Kirk in the footage flies across the course in stunning speed, Kirk in the living room was basically going bonkers.
It was as if she was cheering herself and screaming, “That’s me! That’s me!” Channan was so amused with her reaction that she recorded Kirk while watching the competition.
She then uploaded the clip online, and it gained quite the traction from dog lovers across the world. Watch her adorable and hilarious reaction here.
