Putting dog has become a TikTok sensation

Putting dog has become a TikTok sensation

Teaching a dog to sit, stay and shake is one thing, but when you teach your dog to play golf, drive a lawnmower and feed a calf, you’ve gone to a whole other level.

That’s what a Mississippi man has done with his British Labrador retriever, Brewski, and his TikTok videos have been watched by millions.

Chance Crawford of Houston, Mississippi, an avid golfer, said he posted a video of Brewski reading a putting green on TikTok two or three years ago and the response wasn’t exactly viral, but when he reposted it earlier this year, the number of views exploded.

So far, the video has been viewed 4.5 million times.

“I guess the right people started seeing it or something,” Crawford said. “I had a million views by the time I looked at it.”

Crawford followed with a video of Brewski making a putt. Currently, it has 8.3 million views.

“It shocked me,” Crawford said. “I never expected that. It’s crazy how he blew up overnight.”

Watching for direction from owner Chance Crawford of Houston, Brewski, a 7-year-old Labrador, moves forward on a toy electric tractor Thursday, July 20, 2021. The dog has to push a foot pedal to make the toy move. The pair have become TikTok sensations after Crawford posted Brewski driving the tractor and putting. Currently, they have over nine million likes and around 175,000 followers.

“The fishing video was at over 5 million in two days,” Crawford said. “It was very shocking to me.”

Another video features Brewski driving a zero-turn radius lawnmower and has been viewed 3.7 million times.

“He can drive anything if he can reach the gas,” Crawford said.

Those videos and others have racked up an amazing 9.2 million likes and around 175,000 followers on the social media platform, but how does he train a dog to do these things? Crawford teaches dogs basic obedience commands for others as a hobby, so he has experience. He said it’s a…
