I think the reason people are having trouble 'getting it' is because they are expecting more, baited by the text "...but take a closer look …" in the post.
At first glance, a lot of us see the 'because it is awesome' right away and assume thats not the 'secret cool thing to look closer for'. But it is, apparently.
I guess most of us internet pplz are used to looking deeper for something more obscure in a post that challenges you to 'look closer'.
Bascially, the 'trick' was so obvious that most thought they were missing something more.
Yeah, I think 'theturbolemming's comment was quite reactionary and 'looking to be offended'. People have been training dogs for, well, a LONG time using positive reinforeement. Dogs often get treated as family members, and this dog was probably trained just as a child would be to use the bike. Also, have you never seen a dog doing something odd by it's own imperitive? This guy looks like he's having a great time, if you are familair with dog body language.
However, I must say, if I say him drive by me while walking or something, that would certain suprise the heck out of me!
right, HE might wash his hands later, but people who high five him after he's recieved many other high-fives might not consider what they are picking up..
Still, it's a neat animation and an admirable dedication.
