British Dog Predicts World Cup Match Outcomes Via Treats

A dog in Manchester, England, is “predicting” the results of matches to be played at the World Cup, with video from November 30 showing Charlie’s tips for that day’s fixtures.

Based on the dog’s preference for treats placed in a trio of bowls, Charlie’s owner said the pooch decided that Saudi Arabia would beat Mexico and Tunisia would beat France. The Poland vs Argentina and Australia vs Denmark matches would end in draws, Charlie’s owner said. Credit: Bright Competitions via Storyful
