Dog bumps bottom of trampoline to help bird bounce

HANOVER, Md., April 29 (UPI) -- A Maryland dog owner captured footage of the helpful pooch pushing on the bottom of a trampoline to help a bird learn to bounce.

The video, posted to YouTube by user Cmore Life, shows Ellie the dog joyfully jumping under the trampoline in her family's Hanover yard and bumping the underside with her nose.

Ellie's bumps cause a bird standing onto the trampoline to bounce into the air.

The uploader said the "crazy dog" was "helping a bird enjoy the trampoline."
