Yes, that's it, keep looping....

[–]elquiche 49 points50 points ago

I'm not ashamed to admit that the main reason for me liking this was that it was perfectly looped.

[–]zmansman17 2 points3 points ago

There's no shame in that. Just as there is no shame in getting a back scratch.

[–]TheyCallMeCactus 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking the same thing

[–]Auauauauau 24 points25 points ago

If you look at the back legs long enough, it looks like a headless creature with a tail patting the kid's back.

[–]Haydenhai 4 points5 points ago

It's like a plucked chicken... oh god.

[–]Fapologist 1 point2 points ago

Duuude

[–]ithinkitsin 4 points5 points ago

Ah, what the fuck!

[–]JackWeston007 43 points44 points ago

The funny part is I'm pretty sure the dog thinks he's just scratching himself.

[–]pinkybones 9 points10 points ago

At any moment, the kid can slip out unnoticed.

[–]ithinkitsin 8 points9 points ago

Well, you're just begging for a colby joke aren't you?

[–]isaackleiner 5 points6 points ago

Lt. Buzzkill here: for the dog, thinking doesn't really enter into it. When dogs scratch themselves while being scratched themselves, it's actually just a reflex, like when your leg jumps after your doctor taps just below your knee with that little hammer. The reflex actually evolved as a defense against fleas crawling on the dog's skin. In response, fleas evolved to jump.

Edit: subject-verb agreement

[–]cultured_banana_slug 0 points1 point ago

My cat had a spot at the base of his tail that, when scratched, would cause him to lick whatever was directly in front of him. Never. Failed. He'd bow his head down and start licking.

We used to use his "lick button" to get him to take his hairball medicine. Plop medicine down, scratch base of tail, lick lick, all gone.

[–]kt00na 29 points30 points ago

I spent way too long trying to line up my two dogs to get them stuck in an infinite loop doing this.

[–]shitterplug 51 points52 points ago

"Honey, come to bed"

"No! I must do this! I will create this dog generator one way or another!"

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 17 points18 points ago

"And then, free energy for all..."

[–]Im-in-dublin 3 points4 points ago

MUAHAHAH!!!!!cough cough....

[–]Zonak 0 points1 point ago

That's it! No free energy for you!

[–]seefoma 10 points11 points ago

Nothing should be that cute.

[–]ChocoChooChoo 6 points7 points ago

I will also put my penis in your armpit.

[–]Persica -1 points0 points ago

You bastard. You made me laugh so hard

[–]krosseyed 14 points15 points ago

Well the funny thing about my back is... it's located on my COCK! hahhaah?

[–]SirHogsalot 2 points3 points ago

This is a reference to something and it is funny! I can't remember what this is referencing to but I defiantly remember from somewhere and it was hilarious.

[–]goofan 4 points5 points ago

The movie Superbad

[–]RockYourOwnium 1 point2 points ago

Can't tell if you meant defiantly, or definitely...

[–]goofan -1 points0 points ago

Why the 'hahhaah?'. Don't question the humour of that line, that shit is hilarious. In context of the movie anyway.

[–]dontgiveadamn 1 point2 points ago

I knew this comment would be here. Well done

[–]brainburger 1 point2 points ago

It all seems like harmless fun, until the dog farts.

[–]ForgotMyPasswordDude 34 points35 points ago

Funny thing about my back is it's located on my dick.

[–]804R 0 points1 point ago

This is how a circlejerk reddit works, only more innocent and adorable.

[–]jkeegan123 3 points4 points ago

Red rocket, red rocket.....yeah!

[–]highguy98 0 points1 point ago

[–]cappa16 1 point2 points ago

That's the cutest Dutch rudder I've ever seen!

[–]yousaidcirclejerk -1 points0 points ago

What? Nobody? Really? Aww..

[–]Egypticus 0 points1 point ago

Hands down the best trick I have ever taught my dog

[–]NeverShout_Lover 0 points1 point ago

THAT'S a friendship.

[–]roxpoxievox 0 points1 point ago

Why do dogs do that anyway? What is the physiological root of this behaviour? Is it like the human compulsion to open one's mouth when applying mascara or messing with your eyelids?

[–]Dardove 1 point2 points ago

It is known as the scratch reflex and it is completely involuntary.

[–]tattedspyder 1 point2 points ago

...And hump your armpit while I'm at it.

[–]TheRetral 0 points1 point ago

Looks like some weird porno...

[–]yankeewhite 0 points1 point ago

And boom goes the dynamite

[–]quigilicious 1 point2 points ago

scratch or hump..

[–]Swimmingcactus -1 points0 points ago

What is the joke? How is this funny?

[–]Lolavasava 1 point2 points ago

That reminds me of my mutant fish with legs, bubbles.

[–]Theresalittlejohn 0 points1 point ago

I think this completely adorable

[–]MacaroniJoe -1 points0 points ago

The loop is NOT perfect!! The child's foot twitches!! Look at the bottom right corner!!

[–]dncbms13 0 points1 point ago

If you stare at the top right corner, the dog's leg goes faster

[–]Trevelayan 0 points1 point ago

[–]zdstuber -2 points-1 points ago

I keep waiting for the dog to splooge on the boy it never comes....

[–]aggrosan 0 points1 point ago

is that a perpetuum mobile ? If not, would it be if i'd use 2 dogs?

[–]HornierWhenHigh -2 points-1 points ago

The funny thing about my back is, it's located on my cock.

[–]ArcticScout -3 points-2 points ago

[–]RyoukoAsakura -3 points-2 points ago
