Recently in Baoding, Hebei, a Belgian Malinois went viral after treating an excavator like an amusement ride, delighting in spinning around while sitting in its bucket.

In the video, the dog climbs into the excavator’s bucket and enjoys the rotation, looking completely absorbed and happy, as if the machine were its very own ride.

According to the owner, an excavator operator had been working nearby, and during a walk the dog became excited upon seeing the machine, pawing at the bucket in an attempt to climb in. Finding it amusing, the operator lifted the bucket and spun it with the dog inside. To everyone’s surprise, the dog wasn’t afraid at all — instead, it became more and more thrilled, and quickly addicted to the fun.
