SIT! Stay! Fetch! Play dead! These are all standard tricks many pet owners love to teach their precious pooches.
But for Harley – or Harlso as he’s affectionately known to his humans, Jennifer Scott and Paul Lavery – these commands are just so last year.
With his big eyes, stumpy legs and droopy ears, the delightful little dachshund from Belfast in Northern Ireland has become Insta-famous for his most unusual party trick: his jaw-dropping balancing act.
Whether he’s working with a doughnut, an avocado or a cup of coffee, Harlso has the uncanny ability to hold an item perfectly in place on his adorable little head.
The last puppy of his litter, Harlso was taken in by Jennifer (29) and Paul (30) when he was four months old, and the couple stumbled across his talent by chance.
“When Harlso was two I was playing fetch with him at home,” Paul recalls. “He loves chasing his ball across the living room – never tires of it. While we were playing I set his toy chicken on his head. He stood still and didn’t shake it off. He has the flattest head. I couldn’t believe it!”
