Had to pick between a thumbnail with my dog or one with a dramatic arrow, the dog won

I was testing two thumbnails for my video about fixing a leaky faucet. One had my dog sitting next to the tools and it got 30% more clicks than the one with a red arrow pointing at the pipe. Guess people just like dogs more than helpful arrows.

My buddy Dan's cat thumbnail got triple the clicks of his face once, @samrodriguez.

Guess my face wasn't clickable enough compared to a fuzzy dog.

Dog probably has better angles. And zero expectations of going viral for being basic.
