Happy dog launches himself through open car window at rocket speed

Good boy.

It's a well-proven fact that there are few things in this world more cheering than the sight of a happy dog.

Especially if the dog in question happens to be taking a running, gleeful jump through an open car window.

On Sunday, Roman Mitchell from Dallas, Texas shared the following video of his Pointer.

"I thought it'd be cool to show off my dog's athleticism," he wrote, "until I realized he had no self control..."

That, my friends, is a classic example of a very good boy.

Mitchell followed that first video up with a photo of his other dog, who is clearly not such a good boy.

As a bonus, here's what the passenger seat of his car looks like as a result of all those excitable dog walks...

Totally worth it.
