He’s mutting the cheese.

An Arizona Great Dane named Roland has the internet in stitches due to his habit of unleashing ferocious flatulence while striking a yoga pose. Clips detailing the pooch’s “Fart of the day” have amassed millions of views on TikTok.

“I think Roland brings joy to people with his interesting talent,” owner Nicki Deutsch, 48, told Jam Press of her doggo’s odiferous wind-breaking, which she documents on a TikTok page called “rolandthefartingdog.”

The most popular clip — with 5.7 million views — shows the black-and-white pooch adopting a downward dog pose with his front paws down and rump high in the air. He then lets loose so cartoonishly loud it could’ve been a sound effect in “The Nutty Professor.”

Deutsch, who’s a stay-at-home mom, adopted Roland in 2020. One year later, the pooch fell mysteriously ill, whereupon doctors later discovered that the Dane had eaten a cat toy, which apparently affected his gut something fierce.

“The toy was blocking his intestines, which did some damage and some had to be removed,” said Deutsch. “We tried different kinds of food to get him to eat until we found the right one, which we added dry kibble to.”

Roland, fortunately, survived the ordeal but apparently was left with a peculiar side effect: galaxy-destroying gassers.

“For the first time since we got him, he finally had solid poo – but the downside was that he started farting,” lamented the dog mom. “They usually happen in the afternoon when he gets up from sleeping and he will always do a ‘downward dog’ yoga stretch before letting them out.”

Fortunately, she decided to make the best out of a stinky situation and share Roland’s smelly skill on TikTok.

‘I’m crying so hard! My belly hurts, I can’t stop laughing.’

“Within a week or two, he went viral – so I started doing a daily fart because it was funny,” Deutsch said.

Indeed, many viewers were in stitches over Roland’s epic wind-breaking, with one writing on a video, “That fart got sucked up and let out real quick.” Another person added: “I gasped so hard.”

“My partner’s dog farted coughed gave us stink eye and left the room as we choked,” someone else wrote. Another wrote: “I’m crying so hard! My belly hurts, I can’t stop laughing.”

“My Great Dane does that too,” one commenter added.

“It’s fun to read the comments about people having a bad day and that my dog is making them laugh,” exclaimed Deutsch.
