PIT BULLINGTON — We always knew pit bulls were strong, but now we have proof that they have superpowers.
Rafael Caraveo Saldivar got this video of his pit bull making a jump that would make Clyde Drexler envious. That reference too dated? How about LeBron James? That work?
Anyway, this dog jumps and then manages to grab the end of a rope that's 12 feet in the air. To put that in perspective that's — well — that's high. My creativity just took a mini-vacation.
Creativity isn't what's important. What is important is that this dog can get almost 13 feet in the air, while my vertical leap is somewhere between leaping over a Lego figure and not trying.
Regardless, this dog is an athlete; I am not. Apparently I need a dog to fill the athletic quota in my family.
This video hit the Internet over the weekend and already has 29 million views at the time this article was written.
