Saw this first on Reddit in gif form and I notice it now all over the place. It was introduced, "Excuse me Mr. Dog, I have important business to take care of. Looking back I see several of these. It's a boy thing. Cannot let a good puddle go to waste. I recall doing this myself.
I'm also seeing tons of gifs and videos of running into dust devils. The longest one at Burning Man and another in Australia. It's a guy thing. Girls have more sense. On Reddit, the gif is not so compressed as this and it seems made to look like the guy is abruptly lifted up but the gif actually cuts off as the man passes through.
Stupid. It's the sort of thing I would do myself. Because when do you ever get the chance to be in a tornado like that? You have to take your moments when they're presented.

At first I wondered what a crappy little handheld vacuum cleaner has to do with anything but then I realized that I was barking up the wrong mud puddle.
I don't like that song. I REALLY don't like that song, and I think it an exceptionally poor choice to accompany an obviously staged video demonstrating canine obedience. [R]hhardin has sufficiently identified both the demographic and the mindset.
Yeah, yeah, I know, slag off, Eric. It's just harmless cute and whoever put it together was working for free. Yes, I know that's true but the coffee has just kicked in and I need to take a massive dump.
Regarding running into the swirly-sandy-windy thing, I'm trying to remember the contrivance by which Kirk and Spock have to go through the time portal to end up in 1942-ish America.
Ah yes, that's it!
McCoy gets some sort of disease that makes him a nut-job maniac and he jumps into the portal and so Kirk and Spock have to go rescue him before he does something in the past that fucks up the present on a galactic scale.
Hmmmmm. Now that I type it out, that seems like a pretty good way to fire the starter's pistol.
Ask any kid - Puddles hold the keys to the universe.
First, you walk through the puddle. But then it gets better: you stand in the puddle and stomp your feet. Oh yes, I remember.
Great clips, thanks ChipA.
Me and my friends used to run into dust devils and puddles whenever we could. Good times.
Then comes winter and you slide across those puddles and maybe get a bloody nose when falling down. After growing up and spending a lifetime learning how not to be a hog on ice you get old and go back to falling down and maybe breaking a hip.
That's when we forget the wonder of being a child and start calling mud puddles potholes and wonder why somebody doesn't fill them in.
I was never lucky enough to be near a dust devil to run into one.
But if I did, I would, and then I'd go, "You dumbass! Was it worth sand in your eyes and nose and mouth and ears and down your neck, and inside every pocket and even your socks?"
Answer: Yes!
Because it would be like Nature itself, or God gave me that dust devil to be in it.
If you pick the right dust devil, you'll end up in Oz. You've got to keep trying.
