Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is dedicated to his many crafts: wrestling, knitting, macramé, yodeling, rescuing tiny dogs named after him from swimming pools, eating crazy amounts of cod, and exercising at the gym.
Due to this crazy dedication, Dwayne spent New Year's Day at the gym but sometimes it can get a little lonely, so he brought a friend along for company: a dog. This dog got so caught up in The Rock's fit spirit that he decided to join in on the (subjective) fun too.
Posing for a photo op with his owner, this unnamed dog that might be called Hobbs put a paw on some giant weights to prove its strength and to do something with all the doggy protein shakes it's been drinking. As if people could feel worse about their strength when seeing the size of this thing, the dog is also injured with a cone around its neck. Some animals just have more strength than others.
The Rock captioned the post, "2016 in the #IronParadise. One of us is happy and the other is just BEGGING you to laugh at the dish on their head. "Don't make me come over there MF'r " ~ #Hobbs."
