That is, until one ordinary day when fate decided to reveal it. While going about his routine, Peter happened to notice Keys doing something completely unexpected—something so funny and out of the blue that it left him staring in disbelief before bursting out laughing.
And just when he thought it might have been a fluke, Keys proved she could do it again. And again. Wait—it gets even better!

One ordinary morning, Peter happened to glance over at Keys and noticed something unusual.
Without warning, she shot her paws straight up into the air, almost like a person stretching after a long nap—or maybe even like a referee signaling a touchdown. The sight was so unexpected and comical that Peter couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It was such a perfectly goofy pose that he knew he had to capture it, so he grabbed his camera and snapped a picture. That single moment would end up being the start of Keys’ rise to internet stardom.
He thought she did that accidentally, but then, she did it again the next day. So, he started rewarding her with her favorite treat anytime she does these “goal hands.” As Peter said:
“She has come to recognize the camera, and does these ‘goal hands’ whenever she sees it.”

What made the whole thing even more incredible was that Keys actually picked up on a special cue for her quirky little trick.
Peter discovered that if he said the phrase “I know what you want,” her eyes would light up, and she’d immediately spring into action.

Without hesitation, she’d shoot her paws straight up into the air like a champion celebrating a goal, as if she had been waiting all day to show off. It quickly became their secret party trick, one that never failed to bring laughter. Peter explained with a grin:
“Every time I pop out my camera and say the magic (phrase), she poses.”
