What Is the Car Alarm Dance?

The original is a golden retriever on a city street at night. It leans on a red car, stands up on its back legs and dances to a car alarm, bouncing, waving a paw and hopping toward the camera, then stops with its paws together like it's waiting for applause. You'll also see it called the dog car dance.
