Clever dog uses crystal ball to see the front sidewalk, and maybe the future

We see a good boy in your future.

Fortune tellers, beware, although if you're really psychic you'll already know: This dog is coming for your job.

Redditor SmallRubyTouringHat posted this picture of their dog, Baja, although they almost exclusively call him Puppy, looking ominously into a crystal ball. Cryptic right?

According to SmallRubyTouringHat, the reflections in the ball allow the pup to see people and cars down the street far before they approach the house. This allows Baja's "predictions" to be pretty doggone accurate.

Not too sure if I believe in psychics, but I would definitely let him tell me my future.

SmallRubyTouringHat submitted the photo to ther subreddit r/funny on Monday, where it hit the frontpage and received over 80,000 upvotes at the time of writing.
