If you have a dog in your life, you already realize that they can be quite talented. In fact, your dog may even have a special talent that other people would appreciate.
It seems as if that is the case with Roland, a Great Dane who lives in Arizona.
As such a large dog, there’s no doubt that his videos would have received a lot of attention but it seems as if he has something else to offer, he can’t stop farting.
It seems as if Roland was not always quite so flatulent. At one point, he reportedly ate a cat toy and the toy got revenge.
They don’t know what happened, but it seems to have affected his gut in some way or another and now he breaks wind constantly.
His owner, 48-year-old Nicki Deutsch, decided to make the best of the situation and share the love on TikTok. She did so with a “Fart of the Day” video series and people can’t stop watching.
Some of the videos are popular but others go mega-viral. That includes one video of Roland in the perfect pose for breaking wind, the downward dog.
Roland has been a part of the family since 2020. At first, he was just a big dog but he developed this unusual talent after eating a toy that belonged to the family cat.
According to the New York Post, his human mom said: “The toy was blocking his intestines, which did some damage and some had to be removed. We tried different kinds of food to get him to eat until we found the right one, which we added dry kibble to.”
Although it was sad that he had to go through a difficult situation, it left him with a talent that is loved around the world. Deutsch said: “For the first time since we got him, he finally had solid poo – but the downside was that he started farting. They usually happen in the afternoon when he gets up from sleeping and he will always do a ‘downward dog’ yoga stretch before letting them out.”
Many of those who watch the videos are happy just to have a good laugh. Others will go on to tell stories about their own dogs breaking wind.
I think we all need a little more of this type of fun in our lives.
