Video: Amanda Seyfried's Dog Balances A Hamburger On His Head

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

We already know that Amanda Seyfried is kind of awesome, what with her turn as porn star Linda Lovelace in this month's "Deep Throat" and all. But now we are privy to the fact that her dog kicks ass as well—on "The Late Show With David Letterman" last night, her Australian Shepherd Finn balanced a hamburger on his head. Like a boss.

Seyfried told Letterman that her dog was capable of doing tasks that other dogs couldn't pull off:

"He balances things on his head," she says.

"No he doesn't," says Letterman. "

When Seyfried explains that what he will be balancing is a hamburger, naysayer Letterman responds, "a dog with raw or cooked meat on his head is gonna go nuts and not sit there with it on his head."

But he soon stands corrected! Behold:
