Dogs may be man’s best friends, but according to this new video, the same probably can’t be said for statues.

An adorable video of a persistent border collie trying to play fetch with a metal figure on Crosby Beach in Liverpool is making its rounds on the internet.

The amusing pup named Hurley can be seen repeatedly dropping a toy in front of the statue and impatiently waiting for the cast-iron man to reciprocate the gesture.

Hurley’s owner, Adam Shore, can be heard laughing from behind the camera as his dog paws at the ground in confusion.
