The Neuer of Dog Soccer Breaks World Record

Airbud sucks.

Airbud is like the Larry Bird of dog soccer—talks a lot of shit, and is old and irrelevant. Today's dog soccer world has a new hero in Purin, this sweet-faced golazo assassin who just broke the world record for the most balls caught by a dog with its paws in a minute. We've written about Purin before, but this new record gives us an excuse to do it again.

I'm not quite sure who's in charge of The Guinness Book of World Records, but I can't imagine Purin has much competition. Who else tediously built a Pavlovian response out of their pet to do something that is objectively meaningless? The dog's recognition of this accomplishment is only measured in dog treats it receives for completing a repeated task. It is safe to say that Purin is the greatest of all time.
