Dancing dog teaches himself how to tap his paws 'perfectly' in time to music

A dog that dances whenever music plays is making people smile - and the best part is that he taught himself how to do it.

The famous French bulldog, known as Dennis the Menace on TikTok, bounces up and down while tapping his paws from left to right to the beat of songs.

His owner Carlie Crom calls it his "tippy tappy happy dance" and assures fans: "We actually can't take credit, he just started doing it all on his own! These are his factory settings."

The skilful one-year-old pup has racked up more than 7.4 million likes since Carlie posted his first video last October, and fans "cannot get enough".

Dennis the Frenchie has been dancing since he was a baby, and often carries a teddy in his mouth when he bops.

In one comment, mum Carlie explained: "He does it most often with this really raggedy old dinosaur toy that has absolutely no stuffing left in it whatsoever."

Carlie regularly uploads footage of her dog dancing to different genres of music on her TikTok @carliecrom, and now has 133,000 followers.

Fans are most impressed by Dennis' rhythm and ability to tap "perfectly in time" with the music.

One follower commented on his recent video: "This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! We don’t deserve dogs."

Another person said: "My face now hurts from too much smiling."

Many people have admitted to watching Dennis dance on repeat, with one saying: "I watched this like 20 times! I can't get enough!"

Dennis isn't the only dog with an amazing talent on TikTok, Magnus the Therapy Dog has recently been teaching viewers how to do yoga.

In his impressive video, he demonstrates a downward dog pose alongside his owner by poking his bottom in the air and stretching.

The yellow Labrador was called a "good teacher" by fans and dog owners are hoping to try 'doga' with their own pets.
