This is followed by sounds made by banging the dog’s paw on the floors, etc. Perhaps the funniest is the jowl sound followed by a perfect bark almost as if the dog was rapping. Throughout the 1:20-minute-long video, Banjoe seems to enjoy creating the music.

The two collaborated on another ‘music video’ that was shared on the same platform on December 6, 2016.
