Stella the dog had a lot to say to one of her Ontario family members as they played on a backyard ice rink earlier this week.

The confident pooch took to a backyard rink in Chatsworth, Ontario, to bark as the son of her owner, Shelley Jackson, practiced his hockey skills.

Speaking to Storyful, Jackson said Stella “loves” to join the family on the homemade backyard rink. Jackson said it’s the ninth year the family have built the rink.
