Ruff Dog Day? We’ll assume it got an “A”
Five students in a communications class at the University of Texas were hoping to get 1,000 YouTube views when, for an assignment, they put together a video of a chocolate Lab going through a decidedly human morning routine.
As of today, after less than a month online, the video is nearing 1.5 million views.
Entitled “Ruff Dog Day,” the video shows a dog named Dudley waking up, brushing his teeth, putting on a shirt, eating breakfast and heading to work — all with the aid of human hands.
Dudley belongs to Charli Kilpatrick, who made the video along with four fellow students — Jacqueline Hesson, Sally Ngo, Carolyn Volk and Alison Herschap.
“We sat down one night and uploaded it and were fretting over how to get 1,000 views,” Kilpatrick told the Austin American-Statesman.
The assignment – for a communications class on celebrity culture – was to create a video and learn about the value of circulation, said Kilpatrick.
We’ll assume they got an “A.”
