The dog taking Brazil’s football-beach volleyball hybrid footvolley, and TikTok, by storm
Footvolley-playing dog Floki has charmed social media and Rio de Janeiro beachgoers with his skills. Now brand partnerships are rolling in

People hold up their phones to record athletic feats they have never before witnessed, or even imagined.

Floki sparks wonder among bystanders as he competes in a game even humans struggle to get a handle on.
