This dog has a fever, and the only cure is more cowbell.

Maple the border collie/golden retriever/sheltie mixed breed accompanies his owner, who goes by Trench on social media, for a perfectly looped rendition of Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper."

Of course, just like Christopher Walken, Maple knows that any cover of this famous tune needs one thing to make it great: more cowbell. It's a dynamite sound.

Maple and Trench have plenty of other musical (and non-musical) adventures on Vine and Instagram.
