How would you describe Venus Williams? Identifying her just as a tennis icon will do injustice to her off-court endeavors. She has more than enough ventures to call herself a successful businesswoman. The seven-time major champion also actively runs her YouTube channel and the content there is largely unrelated to tennis. Along with all those feathers in her cap, she is a full-time dog parent.

Williams has spent the vast majority of her recent years looking after her pet dog Harry. Despite being an active tennis player on the professional tour, she prizes her identity as a dog parent. In one of her recent YouTube videos, the former World No.1 shared a quick glimpse of her pet dog Harry.

Venus Williams’ pup leaves her doing a celebratory jig

The American tennis star was in the Netherlands last month to participate in the Libema Open. During her day off, she toured around the country and vlogged about it throughout. The museums and the roads of the country looked beautiful. However, it was something else entirely that stole the show.

A short scene that included her pet, Harry, took center stage in the video. Williams and her friends were walking on a path when the pet dog tried to enter a private property through the bushes. Williams walked up to him and said, “Harold, we’re not, you’re not welcome over there. Let’s go.” The dog showed his obedient side and resisted entering the property. Williams placed her dog carrier backpack in front of him to walk inside the backpack and they proceeded on their way.

A few days ago, Venus Williams shared on Instagram how difficult it was to deal with Harry. The dog was not walking alongside her and instead was standing far away on the street side. He would sometimes also disobey her commands or run away from her. Venus certainly must have been exasperated at his antics.

Managing a pet dog is never easy as they all have their moments when they throw fists or tantrums. Harry’s case is similar and Venus has done a good job of training him. How did you react to Venus Williams’ adorable moment with her pet? Do let us know in the comments.
