A comedian has spent the last six months training his housemate's dog to recognise Thin Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town" as a signal for walkies. Bo Johnson, 30, has been playing the Irish hard rock band's tune every time he took Josie for a walk. He began training the labrador and border collie mix in June and it only took about two months before the clever pooch began recognising the iconic opening riff. Now, whenever she hears the opening chords, she leaps up with excitement and gets ready for her walk. An adorable video shows Josie, seven, leaping up with excitement and running towards Bo at the very first second of the song. Bo, of Seattle, Washington, said: "A few of the other guys in the house and I thought it would be funny if we could get Josie to react excitedly to her hearing 'The boys are back Josie!' "Since I was already walking her daily whenever I was home I thought it would be funny and cute if instead of signaling a walk by picking up the leash, I played 'The Boys Are Back in Town'. Josie's owner, Kelli, a safety manager, is totally on board and loves the attention Josie is receiving online. Bo continued: "Kelli thought it was funny! When I've been out of town her and some of my other roommates would also play the song before taking her on a walk." "The whole process was very fun! It's been a blast seeing how many people are enjoying seeing her have a great time. "Kelli has also had a great time seeing how many people love her pup!"
