When a dog experiences a case of zoomies, it's easy to share their joy. Whether they're celebrating our return home, welcoming a new day, or engaging in a favorite activity, these lively runs and spins convey their feelings.

It's one of the purest forms of expression, demonstrating that our pups are genuinely pleased. Although we can't always predict when these bursts of energy will happen, once we identify an activator, it's difficult to resist encouraging them.

With this beautiful Pomsky, her trigger is a bubble machine, and her happiness is infectious! Check out her absolute delight in this video from November 18.

Look at her go! Sapphire (@sapphie_the_pomsky) is one happy Pomsky when she sees the bubble maker come out. It's the perfect way to give her plenty of exercise on a rainy day when going outside isn't ideal. She can't control her excitement as she makes her happy circles around the room, with her booty low to the floor. LOL! She's so funny! With so much energy, she almost appears to get wings and take flight from the couch. This merry girl's parents must have a bubble solution on a monthly re-order plan. Who could resist seeing this much joy on a daily basis? I know I couldn't!

According to the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine, the official term for the zoomies is "frenetic random activity periods" (FRAPs). Animal behaviorists and researchers use this term to describe sudden bursts of energy in dogs, during which they might run in circles, zigzag, or engage in other high-energy activities. Affectionately as "zoomies," these episodes can be a way for dogs to release pent-up energy, especially if they haven't had enough exercise or mental stimulation during the day. Zoomies can express joy or excitement, particularly after a bath, a training session, or when reuniting with their person. These enthusiastic displays may also occur in response to environmental changes or stimulating experiences, such as rustling leaves, encountering another animal, or playing with a favorite toy, like a bubble maker.

This Pomsky's athleticism impressed people. One viewer shared, "High-intensity interval training." It is, and it looks way more fun than when humans do it. Viewer @conansgirl responded, "Her zoomies are the zoomiest I have ever seen, like those back legs; she going to go airborne one day." That's for sure! Viewer @beaunosebones remarked, "Those zoomies are elite!" They really are!

Dogs have a remarkable ability to help us find joy in each day. Moments like these leave no question about why they are revered as man's best friend.

Meanwhile, Messi who the dog is named after has won the Ballon d'Or eight times and is widely considered one of the greatest players to have played the game.

He is a legend of Barcelona, the highest goalscorer in the history of European football with 704 goals and 303 assists in 853 games

Mess, who currently plays for Inter Miami in the US, has also scored a whopping 112 goals and created a joint-record 58 more in 191 games.

In a previous interview published by Sempremilan, Reijnders had revealed that his dog is a Pomsky, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Husky.

He has now via All About Argentina revealed why he named his dog Messi.

"My dog's name is Messi, when I was young I always said if I got a dog I would name him Messi, because for me [he] is the best player in the world.

"Then we decided we would get a dog, and the first thing I said to my wife is if we got a dog we would name him Messi."
