In the video, Pluto begins jumping up and down in time with the bucking horse on the television.

He lets out a low growl as his claws click against the floor and his tail wags.

The dog stops jumping when the rodeo pauses and he waits in anticipation of the next horse.

When one comes out, Pluto begins jumping up and down again, letting out a few excited barks as he watches the slow-motion replays.
