We've all seen dogs drinking from water bowls (and, occasionally, a toilet). Have you ever wondered how the dog gets the water into his/her mouth, just by lapping it up with their tongue? Check out this brief clip of a German Shepherd taking a drink, recorded in super-slow motion. Amazing!

Brantley Gilbert first let us know about his adorable new fur baby last month, and in that time, he's learned a lot about Sylo.
