This clever canine’s got game.
Viral footage filmed on Feb. 3 features fluffy Percy the cockapoo playing Connect 4 with his human.
“It’s your turn,” Sarah Shapiro-Ward can be heard saying as her 2-year-old pooch picks up game pieces and drops them into Hasbro’s iconic game grid.
“That’s a good boy — you got it!” Shapiro-Ward, 29, hypes as Percy’s tail wags cheerfully. “Good job! Nicely done. Yeah, good play! Nice move, buddy!”
However, Shapiro-Ward, an instructor at When Hounds Fly Positive Dog Training in Toronto, admits that while her pup is “super into trick training” — he’s just not very good at the game.
“Once the token has gone in, he doesn’t know it’s there anymore,” she tells The Post with a chuckle. “But he likes to play, so I cheer him on.”
Percy isn’t the first furball to flirt with online fame via Connect 4. In 2017, a North Wales border collie named Alexis went viral thanks to her gaming skills.
But the O.G. gamer might be Cleo the Nederlandse kooikerhondje spaniel, who racked up nearly 50,000 YouTube views playing Connect 4 in 2014.
