alison_bee: am I crazy or is the end of that sand pit [the edge of a cliff?](https://imgur.com/a/5Qboo)

tezoatlipoca: Dog’s going for speed

Dog’s got a bone (all milkbone)

All a bone in his time of need

(thanks. Now I have Cake in my head)

FaithInTechnology: BARKOUR!

diegojones4: That was absolutely beautiful. Out of all my dogs, I’ve only had one frisbee dog and her passion for it was amazing. When a dog loves doing something, it creates a bond.

barramacie: Wow doggo got an impressive double jump in. The trainers really have a huge set up, is this an event in some dog shows, I did not expect a sand pit

MrDickhead702: Imagine your walking down the street and see a dog fly by you like it has a jetpack on

Gudgee: It even looks like he uses his back legs for mid-air flight guidance!?

drunkmaster2014: I love the tail-wave in mid-air.

Carolinannutrs: Would someone please give this dog a cape?

WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy: 10

Doctamike: [All I could think of the whole time](https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/ShortDeterminedDamselfly)

TheMysticGed: Hot dog!!

rockjently: I got it, I got it, I got it, I …. HEY!!! WHY ARE YOU MOVING IT?????

StanGibson18: The new Air Bud sequel looks pretty sweet.

lenouveaumach: My favorite part is the guy standing near the launch pad. He sees the takeoff, then looks at the spectators, not the dog. He’s seen this and knows it’s amazing; he just wants to see how they react.

Rolling_on_the_river: That can’t be good for the dog 🙁

CptnMcDoobie: That’s absolutely remarkable. Don’t comment much, but Jesus, that is outstanding athletic ability.

Norlake: I wish I could do that

R0binSage: That is definitely interesting.

staypuftmallows7: Can someone make this full speed?

itshonestwork: I’d like to see that in normal-mo

halloha: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a dog with wings.

Ariadnepyanfar: Majestic.

2Billion-HP: Watching this, I hear the mirrors edge theme song.

neuromonkey: This dog is going places.

frawgiedawgie: Watching dogs in slow motion always reminds me of [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0_sL5AAVQ&t=2m40s) scene from the movie Snatch.

P0rkCh0pXpress: look at that tail!

9spaceking: it will find its way, if it can be strong.

theDynamiteJet: This competition does not look sanctioned.

deruch: Wow, I didn’t know that dogs had an appreciable L/D.

Iaramiex: Did that dog almost roll off a cliff at the end?

Steve_NI: Looks like gypsies having some fun. At least the dog isn’t fighting

aroulis1213: I actually thought he was going to jump over that tall thing at first. Impressive af though.

BespokePoke: I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

The_Pope-of-Dope: I believe I can fly 🎶

wickedogg: I wonder if they had to train the dog where to make that first jump from or if he figured that out himself

Alpha-Mike-Foxtrot: insert sound from bionic man TV show… damn that was a jump

sjenkins6936: That’s kind of terrifying.

Scottyharp78: That’s gotta be, what, at LEAST 5 feet or more?!

lofabread1: My naem is dog

I like to run

My hooman waves

Is very fun

I run an jump

And when I land

I go real far

I smoosh the sand

Backerman5: I am on my way, I can go the distance!

Flagship161: Holy crap. Awesome dog.

electricmindfrog: Man what a jumper!

Geofromthebush: Someone get that good boy a cape.

vetelmo: Doggo got hops!!

icrywhendogsdie: i bet this poor doggo gets abused regularly

CptnMcDoobie: Does it show any other history? For instance, the fact that it’s been weeks since I’ve commented on anything except for yesterday?

slavaboo_: Floaty boye

BennyNutts: F L Y B O Y E

n3r0s: Thats a significant intellectual advantage right there

huggiesdsc: Goddamn that juke though. What a smart ass cephalopod.

CravenMerrill: Clever girl

cybertortoise69: Absolutely bamboozled

claymoar: Apparently earlier in this episode, the same octopus was being attacked by a shark and it plugged its gills with its tentacles to escape

ymOx: o shit! Those guys are so cool! I’ve seen them do all kinds of stuff, but never this.

Sbidl: That thing is definitely smarter than me.

fgmenth: That octopus went full Katamari

therealradriley: Dam this is just like that turtle swimming on its back so the sharks couldn’t eat him. The shark empire is collapsing

Charlitos_Way: Wow. Definitely going to surpass humans eventually.

VehaMeursault: And here I am trying to fit a lid onto a pot for the past 3 minutes now.

ynnadkci: I can just see this guy bragging to his friends about this cool play.

IzumiAlgarin: That’s a [Pyjama Shark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyjama_shark). Wanted to share because it’s a cute name.

tjjex: Octopusies are so smart

pignans: Swear I see a post like this after every episode of blue planet 2.

Rex_Lee: Holy shit, they are smart

jamjam85: How the hell does Blue Planet get a shot like this? They must have filmed for hours and hours for incredible footage that last just a few seconds. It’s just absolutely stunning.

lord_thistlewickIV: My favourite animal! This needs a ‘deal with it’ just after its eye is exposed on the exit

evan_fisha: That’s a shark?

F_ckLife: Yay, blue planet 2

Raymi: There was a fish hiding between the octopus’s tentacles! You can see him pop out four seconds in!

romulusnr: Sharks are apparently the big dumb dogs of the ocean.

bryan2384: And it casually swims away. Awesome.

ArcChael: man that was slick

Laoracc: Meanwhile the Octupus is like:

“Stupid cameraman, *are you not entertained*!”

(Assuming it’s not some robot, which these days is probably a safe bet)
