Watch in awe this ‘Ronaldog’ skills demonstration, which surely raises the bar for football-playing dogs around the world.

The performing pooch in this video has certainly earned his nickname, exhibiting close control and balance that his illustrious near-namesake would be proud of.

Capable of juggling the ball on his head while spinning around, and with no shortage of pace either, it’s hard to imagine that Ronaldog’s skills wouldn’t make him the outstanding player of any hypothetical league for dogs.

Here’s hoping this paves the way for similar skills demonstrations from Ross Bark-ley, Harry Canine and Marco Mutt-erazzi.
