Lenny is a border collie who is addicted to TV. This makes perfect sense, considering he is around “the teen years” in dog time. Lenny has two brothers; the three are known on TikTok as Threemusketeers. Reggie is a golden retriever, and Taco is a tiny fluffy dog of unknown lineage. They have many adventures. Lenny is obsessed with the TV and will throw a dog tantrum when it doesn’t turn on.
Border collies are extremely intelligent. Lenny has figured out how to open the Xbox. He’s also a good doggo and makes sure to close the tray. That doesn’t mean the TV will turn on, but Lenny knows there is a secret somewhere. After pressing the button, he turns to look forlornly at his parent. He is whining and having a mini dog tantrum because he didn’t get what he wanted to fuel his TV obsession.

Lenny even has a favorite TV ad and comes running when he hears it. His obsession is a bit over the top, but it doesn’t seem like a harmful pursuit.
Although Lenny seems to enjoy outside time just fine, he loves the sedentary lifestyle. He would be a total couch potato if left to his own devices and given control of the remote.

For some odd reason, watching “The Lion King” made Lenny hungry, and he tried to eat the TV. It doesn’t seem to matter what is on the TV. Lenny likes to watch almost anything. We don’t think Lenny needs therapy for this obsession yet, but that might be a future consideration. You can follow this whole family of canines on TikTok. They like dirty river water and have great fun.
