Writer and voiceover actor Paul Rugg (you might remember him as Mr. Director on Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain) tweeted a delightfully tongue-in-cheek video Tuesday extolling the benefits of petting one's canine companion.

"You see," he says in the clip, "petting your dog is one of the most relaxing things you can possibly do."

Reader, the dog does not agree. Watch and be astounded.

Dogs: good even when they're biting your hand.
