Featured Video: Belly Rub

It’s no secret that we here at Horse Illustrated HQ are big fans of the bond between horses and other animals. But this dog-and-horse video might be one of the cutest that we’ve featured. Who hasn’t met a dog who will do anything for a belly rub? This one is even optimistic when he feels the scratching of little hooves. Google Translate tells us the title given to this video means “Dog Overpowered.” Seems accurate. Belly rubs are clearly this pup’s kryptonite.

I'm not sure which is cuter, the foal or the dog! Both have great temperaments.

How wow, how got a temperament on that pit bull! That little stud colt is a little ruff with his mouth!
