An obvious fan said the dog is his favorite athlete, adding that the tandem is amazing! "I love that I'm not afraid to watch bc you have caught him sooo many times when needed."
However, aside from praises and wows, the commenters also shared concerns over the dog's health as there was no cushion on its landing area. They are worried that the dog might break its legs and limbs after the fall.
User7728551139392 exclaimed: "Like 20ft. He needs a mattress to land on too" while another user said, "Your dog could really hurt himself at the end."
Meanwhile, the owner thanked everyone for their good messages and concerns for the dog. He also vowed to buy a new cushion for his dog to prevent him from getting any injuries.
The star malinois dog
According to Hills Pet, a Belgian Malinois is an elegant, medium-sized, strong, and rugged dog. However, it is accustomed to living outdoors and has a wide range of aggressiveness and temperament. Its enthusiastic and quick-moving characteristics are perfect for the stunts the tandem shows in their TikTok videos.
The dog featured on the video is named Jojo, which is a malinois-breed dog and just about one year old. He impressed the audience in its more than 50 videos published on TikTok. The contents of these videos range from different simple stunts to a range of short stints played by Jojo, his owner, and some extras.
