The French Bulldog, called Rupert, is seen spinning around and around in circles as he makes a fool of himself trying to entertain the baby - just like a human would.

 

The playful pair were filmed by the boy's mother as they lay next to each other on the living room floor.

 

The 16-second clip, which has been posted online, shows the cheerful baby, propping¹ himself up with his arms as he lies on his tummy.

 

As the baby starts to laugh, Rupert, who was lying on his stomach just a foot away, suddenly hops² back on to a blue mat on the floor behind him.

 

The French Bulldog begins to spin around and around in circles - and the infant can't take his eyes off his furry³ friend.

 

Delighted by what he is seeing, the baby lifts his arms up in glee as Rupert drops to the floor and looks into his eyes.

 

The baby starts to quieten down and - determined⁴ to get him laughing again - Rupert jumps to his feet and starts to spin around in circles once again.

 

Rupert only stops when the infant bursts into a fit of giggles⁵, satisfied that his job is done.
