Funny Dog's Adventure with a Windshield Wiper Is the Gift That Keeps on Giving

Dogs really are clowns. They can be so funny without even meaning to be. A video of a dog that was totally enamored with its owner's rear windshield wipers is a testament to that fact. And has people everywhere positively losing it.

Thank goodness that the person behind their car had their phone out — they got the video of a lifetime.

Shared by 6 ABC, the video makes sitting in traffic sort of seem worth it. Taken from inside another vehicle, the clip shows a dog in the trunk of a car while the windshield wiper was running. Well, something about the wipers must've triggered the pup because he hilariously followed along as it went back and forth. Guess he didn't realize that he's never going to catch it, huh?

Teaching Your Dog to Be Comfortable in the Car

Obviously this little guy is a pro in the car, but many pet owners can attest it sometimes takes a little time to get there. Dogs aren't always immediately okay with car rides. Many dogs can get car sick, are afraid of getting in and out of cars, or simply have anxiety about being in a confined space. There are ways to help all of these issues. Here are just a few if your dog really isn't loving those long drives to grandma's house.

If just getting in the car makes your pup anxious, you might want to get them acclimated to the vehicle from a distance. That means bringing them to the car while it's not moving and simply allowing them to get comfortable with it. If you're feeling confident, try taking your dog into the backseat. You might want to bring along their favorite toy or treat to help them have a positive association with the car.

Motion sickness tends to impact puppies more than grown dogs, but if your dog still seems to get an upset stomach on car rides here are a few ways to help; keep the temperature cool or lower the windows in the car to get some fresh air, try to keep your pet from eating or drinking a few hours before getting in the car, or take your dog for a walk about 20 minutes before the trip to help them decrease stress. If the issue is really persistent you can talk to your vet about getting medication too.

Getting your dog to be okay in the car isn't easy, but with a little patience and positive reinforcement it can totally happen.
