One can’t deny that dogs are intelligent creatures. And their intelligence is usually seen in their problem-solving skills. Maverick, a Great Pyrenees and Golden Retriever mix, showed his smarts when he managed to get a giant stick into their family car. This caught the attention of many netizens around the world, thus making him an internet sensation.
Here’s Maverick’s truly marvelous story.
Into the car
A TikTok user called @kelpysnothome or Kelb shared on her page a short video of her pup trying to determine how to put a giant stick inside the car. The video starts with Maverick standing outside the car. When Kelb opened the car door, she told Maverick to figure things out. The dog, on the other hand, had a bit of trial and error. He even dropped his stick in the process.
But ultimately, Maverick was able to find the perfect angle to get the four-foot stick inside the car. He carried the piece of wood by placing its length parallel to his body. Then, he jumped into the backseat where he dropped his new toy. In the video’s caption, Kelby said that her pooch is a professional problem solver.
