A real life boxer dog has given the star of this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert a run for his money with his own incredible jumping skills.
Adorable footage posted to Facebook shows Buzz the dog staring in awe as the advert plays on TV, featuring another boxer jumping joyfully on a trampoline.
But he then begins to jump himself, leaping high into the air with just a wooden floor to bounce off.
The incredible video, taken by the dog’s owner Victoria Montadon in their Newton Abbot home, has been viewed over 25 million times on Facebook.
Mrs Montadon, who cares for Buzz with her husband Neil and their three sons, shared the clip accompanied with the caption: “The reason I love my box!”
Neil Montadon later told the Torquay Herald Express: "It's crazy and to be honest we are a bit scared by it all.
Leap: Buzz has become an internet sensation Victoria Montadon / YouTube"We only put it up for a bit of fun. Jumping is normal behaviour for boxers and he does it all the time so we were ready with the phone to film him. We kind of knew how Buzz would react.
"He's crackers. They say dogs can't see the TV but they obviously can."
