A video of the golden retriever holding a “Black lives matter” placard in his mouth as he marched along with anti-racism protesters in the United States has attracted over 8 million views on Twitter and invoked mixed reactions from viewers.
Sarah Emrick, 23, took to the streets with her dog to join hundreds of others protesting the death of an African-American man, George Floyd, who died after being pinned beneath a police officer’s knee for nine minutes.
Footage showed Ms Emrick walking her dog on a leash along with several other protesters on Sunday afternoon.
The dog was filmed walking calmly along with its owner, holding the cardboard sign in its mouth.
Ms Emrick later took to Twitter to respond to criticism about bringing her dog to a protest, saying that she would “never let it be harmed”.

Talented dog jumps across backs of 56 people to break world record
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

Stuck parrot rescued from third-floor balcony in San Francisco

Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
