A hilarious video of a dog discovering the joys of sticking his head through the sunroof of his owner’s car has gone viral on TikTok with over 1.2 million views.
In the video Boston, the Cane Corso can be seen sticking his head out of the canopy while his owner laughs and says, “He discovered the canopy… Jesus, help me, are you kidding?”
One user commented, “He’s so excited to be able to look after his little homans.”
“I can only imagine what this looks like from the outside,” mused another.
What is a Cane Corso?
“Intelligent, trainable, and of a noble demeanor, the assertive and confident Cane Corse is an unparalleled protector,” says the American Kennel Club. They can be nearly 28 inches tall and often weigh in excess of 100 pounds, making them intimidating looking dogs. They can also be fiercely loyal to their owners, but also assertive and willful. Still, according to the AKC, “they can end up owning an ignorant owner.
