Who says a dog can't learn new tricks?

The handler of a pup in southwest England is hoping this video (in the player above) helps raise support for veteran mental health.

You've likely seen the pushup challenge on Facebook.

People doing 22 pushups for 22 days to raise awareness for the issue of veteran suicides.

On average, 22 veterans commit suicide every day in the U.S.

This is the first canine version of the challenge we've seen. 

The dog's handler, Steve Hopwood, shared the video of both of them doing pushups together.

While Hopwood is from Great Britain, he can relate with the case because the statistics are similar among British veterans.

If you're looking for the hashtag to use to post your 22-day challenge, it's #22Kill
