A man was recently walking through the streets of Mato Grosso, Brazil, when suddenly he noticed a large dog wandering around on his own.
At first, the man thought it must be a stray, or perhaps a lost dog. But on the contrary, this dog knew exactly where he was going.
Dog knows how to get what he wants
Seconds later, the dog stopped in front of a house gate. Curious, the man watched to see what would happen next, and was stunned at what happened.
The dog got up on his two hind legs, and used his two front paws to ring the doorbell! While it seemed so unusual to the passer-by, the dog acted as though he did this every day. And sure enough, just a few seconds later, someone at the house opened the gate to let the pup in.
Smart dog learns how to ring the doorbell
The owners later explained that the dog, named Faísca, liked venturing out on his own. And while at first his owners tried to stop him, they realised the call of the wild was too strong for their pooch and they didn’t want to curb his nature. Besides, Faísca always ended up returning home, and ringing the doorbell to get back in – a behaviour his human family did NOT teach him to do!
Turns out Faísca is just a very smart dog who learns things all by himself.
What a good boy!
