English Bulldogs aren’t really known for their athletic abilities, and most of them would prefer to take a nap rather than to exert any energy. Odie is no exception. He spends most of his time trying to find the perfect spot to lie down and relax, and waiting for something to eat. So when his mom sets up a wall of paper cups for him to jump over, he doesn’t really get why.

The video starts with Odie noticing two stacked rows of paper cups blocking the doorway. Most dogs would take one look at those stacks and hop over them, but Odie just powers through them. Watch what happens as the stacks get higher; you can just imagine the wheels turning in his head as he tries to figure out how to get through them!

We love Odie’s laid-back attitude! We laughed when we read the caption, “I was rooting for the paper cups, not gonna lie, LOL!”
