On Twitch you can currently watch a little four-legged friend exploring the world: A dog owner attached a camera to his Lancashire Heeler Willy, making him probably the cutest streamer on the platform.

What is this action? Dan is a Twitch streamer from Norway who is mainly active in the Travel & Outdoors sector. He is often accompanied by his little black and brown dog Willy. Now the streamer has come up with something special.
He attached an action cam to the dog’s harness and let viewers experience the world from Willy’s point of view. In his channel bio, Dan writes that he wants to share the adventures together and maybe entertain a few people along the way (via Twitch).
You can see what it looks like in this clip:
Little dog big
What is there to see? The stream from May 22nd was probably a kind of test run, so the camera is a little crooked. You can see Willy dashing across a meadow, exploring a forest while sniffing and splashing about – always in the picture: the little black ears.
How is that received? Since Dan is a rather small Twitch streamer, he could not benefit from an existing reach. The original stream was therefore only up to 9 people.
However, a snippet ended up on the streaming subreddit LivestreamFail, where it has already received more than 1,800 upvotes. This also flushed numerous viewers onto the streamer’s channel: almost 108,000 people have already viewed the clip.
So if Dan hones his tech a little more, Reddit users are already predicting a bright future for Willy as an IRL streamer.
Of course, Willy isn’t the first dog to win the hearts of Twitch viewers. Yoshi, the four-legged companion of Twitch streamer MissMikkaa, unceremoniously represented his owner in Elden Ring when she took a break.
