Syd the dog is worryingly obsessed with barbells.

Whenever his owner spins the weights on a barbell, Syd basically goes bananas. He gives every impression of wanting to fight an inanimate object, despite the fact that those barbells do exactly the same thing every time: spin harmlessly in the air.

Syd, you are dumb, but you’re adorable, so we’ll let you off the hook.
