Smart Dog Opens The Gate On His Own - Cute Videos

One animal was bound and determined to not let a barrier keep it from getting to where it wanted to go.

Animals do not get enough credit for the amount of intelligence they possess. Far too many people are likely to denigrate the smarts of animals. But time and again, they display their creativity, ingenuity and inventiveness in how they get over and around obstacles. 

A video posted on YouTube shows how one dog in Argentina found its way around a gate. The short, 30-second clip begins with the animal encountering the barrier, standing on a crate between the gate and the wall. It’s clear that the animal will find a way to get around the gate, one way or another. 

At first, it appears the dog is going to attempt to climb over the top of the plastic crate. Likely that would have been the route most animals would have taken. But this curious and clever pooch went another route.

About 10 seconds into the clip, the dog places its head through the metal bars and then starts to pull the door open. After creating a little space between the gate and the crate, the dog tests it. It tries to sneak its way through, hoping there is enough room.

Unfortunately, the animal still needs a bit more room. So, it returns to the gate. Once again, the dog places its head through the gate. Then, with its neck, it slides the gate open even further. This time, the enterprising canine has succeeded. The dog is now on the other side of the gate.

Two people who commented on the video of the sharp four-legged creature’s move mentioned the animal might have IQ points on a few individuals.

“This dog is smarter than my nieces and nephews,” one person pointed out.

Someone else added, “This dog is smarter than many humans.”
