The two dogs immediately began playing together, with the Pitbull seeming to enjoy the company of its new playmate.
However, there was one thing that made the interaction far from ordinary.
One dog is a puppet, not a pet!
While both dogs appeared to be having fun, only one was real. The other was actually a marionette, expertly controlled by strings. The moment, which was caught on camera by a passerby, quickly went viral online.
Many viewers were amazed by the lifelike movements of the puppet dog, with one commenting, “The way the puppet is wagging its tail looks real.”
Puppet skills
Others were equally impressed by the skill of the puppet’s operator. One person praised the marionette handler, saying, “The man is really good at operating that marionette… it looks like a real dog!”
One viewer even joked that the real Pitbull thought the puppet might be in trouble, adding, “He’s probably saying ‘Bark once for I’m safe. Bark twice for help.’”
