An adorable video of a small puppy in Chicago appearing to practice his basketball dribbling skills.

The footage shows Buster atop a rapidly bouncing ball - with the filmer calling him a "puppy Globetrotter" - a reference to the Harlem Globetrotters team.

The filmer later wrote online: "This is my puppy Buster, he's so smart, always doing something different every day.

"I was in my basement washing and I heard a ball bouncing, I know there was no one else down there but me and him. I turn around and it was Buster bouncing.

"It amazes me. The ball is not small."
