A dog named Oliver has left internet users in stitches with his unusual way of drinking water, which his owner says is normal for him, due to his height.

In a post shared on Instagram in June, under the username @oliversophiezoi, the borzoi can be seen standing in front of the sink in the bathroom, drinking water right from the faucet without showing any difficulties.

"Just a normal day in a tall noodle household," reads layover text shared with the clip. A caption adds: "Can I get you a napkin, sir?"

The American Kennel Club (AKC) says Borzoi dogs are a breed of large, elegant sight-hounds that can run as fast as 35 to 40 miles per hour. An adult male stands at least 28 inches at the shoulder and weighs 75 to 105 pounds.

This breed, which was once known as the Russian wolfhound, was initially bred to be swift and tough enough to pursue and pin their ferocious lupine quarry. They are affectionate family dogs, good with children and other canines.

"The sight of a cat or squirrel on the run will quickly stir their pursuit instinct, and fenced-in running room is a must," the AKC says.

Moreover, these dogs are not the easiest to train, and even though they don't bark much, they do need lots of mental stimulation because of their high energy levels.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across Instagram. It has so far received over 1.1 million views and more than 71,500 likes on the platform.

One user, Ginvaz.originalz, commented: "Nah he's clearly just a baby in a miniature bathroom."

Slamonnjupiter added: "Hey, there's a horse in your house."

Another user, borisstroganofftheredeemer, wrote: "We do this with food too when you aren't looking!"

Katneymarkovich commented: "Ohh, there was a hiccup too. Please tell us more about the Tall Noodle."
