This is the adorable moment a poodle does keepy-uppy with a balloon.

The three-year-old dog named Pancake was skillfully heading the yellow inflatable at a carnival in Saraburi, central Thailand on Monday (August 19) evening.

She was running around the place and jumping to reach the floating balloon in the air, trying not to let her toy fall onto the ground.

Each time she heads it again with her nose and mouth.

Pet owner Jei, who runs a stand where revellers throw darts at balloons, said her dog had developed the talent to stay entertained while she works.

Jei said: ''First I trained Pancake how to dribble the balloon and now she just loves it. Then she learned how to keep it in the air.

''She is excited every time I hold a balloon and will wait patiently for me to give it to her. While I'm working, my dog likes to do this.

"Many customers are willing to pay for the game after seeing her adorable talent. I'm glad that she's with me here everyday and amuse everyone.''
