Look at this dog balancing on that chain like that. That's amazing. How does a dog have that kind of patience? How does it find its center of gravity? How much training did this take? Yesterday when I was making breakfast, I bent down to pick up something on the floor and I whacked my head against the counter, yet here's a dumb ol' dog balancing itself on an unsteady, swinging chain.
