A video clip of a deaf bulldog ‘dancing’ to the vibrations of a twelve-bar blues song has gone viral.

The clip shows Facebook user Jamynne Bowles’ white English bulldog Winston rocking back and forth in time to a blues song being played by her friend on an acoustic guitar.

Although Winston is deaf, the blog For the Love of Dog speculated that he may be feeling vibrations from the music.

Others on the internet have spoilt the fun somewhat however, suggesting Winston could simply be scratching his behind.

Whatever the explanation, the video has received 20,000 hits, the bulk of which have come in the last 24 hours, according to YouTube statistics.
