There are certain dog tricks that every pet parent teaches their sweet pup: Paw, sit, lay, come, roll over, etc. If you saw a dog doing one of those, sure it would still be friggin' adorable, but it wouldn't be surprising. Well, wait until you meet Marceline! She is a very cute black dog with a little salt and pepper on the snout. A good girl indeed, but what makes Marceline out of the ordinary is her love for ballet. That's right! This cutie patootie loves to not only watch ballet videos, but she loves to put on her own tutu and dance along with them. 

 

The videos are wholesome and fun, so of course Marceline is a viral sensation online. Her humans put on a video of a professional ballet and she sits there excited for the prima ballerina (the lead character of the dance) to take the stage. That is when Marceline starts joining the moves and jumps up and down as the prima swirls around. Almost as if they were a duet. Honestly, it's the kind of wholesomeness the world needs right now. A ballerina dog who looks so happy when she's dancing?! Yes, please!

  • The humans make sure to give Marceline sporadic breaks from dancing as to not injury her joints. But when she is able to take the stage (stand in front of the TV), she puts on a marvelous performance that every fan or dancing and/or pups will enjoy. Bravo, Marceline! We hope you never stop dancing!
