Countdown-loving Jack Russell has cute routine each time favorite present is on

If you have a favourite show, chances are you’ll know the theme tune off by heart.

The same goes for ‘Paddy’, a little Jack Russell, who absolutely adores the Channel 4 game show Countdown. The show is such a British staple that almost everyone in the UK can imitate the sound of the clock at the end of every challenge.

Paddy loves the show so much that he has gone viral for singing along in his own way. In a video, which has gained more than 92,000 likes, his owners are heard cackling with laughter as the dog howls every time the Countdown clock finishes ticking.
