Take THAT, painting elephants and sign-language speaking apes! A super-talented Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix named Jumpy has the mind-blowing ability to paint actual words and symbols on a canvas (under the guided tutelage of his human Omar von Muller). In the first video, Jumpy proudly demonstrates how he can legibly write his own name. WHO’S A GOOD DOGGIE!? WHO IS? YOU ARE! YES, YOU ARE!

In the second video, he sweetly paints the words “I love you” in emoji shorthand. AWWWWW. GOOD BOY, JUMPY! I LOVE YOU, TOO!

And yes, I see the trainer guiding the motions for the pup, but hell, it’s still quite an impressive feat, and Jumpy CERTAINLY has better handwriting than I do.

I for one bow to our new canine overlords etc etc… (via Laughing Squid)
