The world is a tough place right now, but thankfully we still have dogs to cheer us up, and Mike Tyson’s dog, Mars, is a particularly fine example of the canine species.
Tyson, like many others, is self-isolating to try and prevent the coronavirus pandemic worsening. But while he’s at home, he has been entertaining himself with the help of his poodle.
The heavyweight great has posted pictures and videos on social media showing him pretending to box against Mars, and of the dog licking his face.
The dog even has his own Instagram account, Mars Tyson The Dog, and, after thorough investigation of the account’s three posts to date, Insider can confirm that Mars is a good boy.
