Many pet owners are accustomed to seeing a mess of dog toys lying around, but one smart pup recently wowed social media by tidying up his own toys.
A remarkable pet cam video shared on TikTok by user @ayce.and.aria captured the moment Ayce took matters into his own paws and neatly placed each toy back into a basket.
Since the video was posted on July 17, it has charmed viewers with the dog’s intelligence and helpfulness. The clip quickly went viral, amassing over 1.4 million views and 233,600 likes on TikTok.
After diligently organizing his toys, Ayce didn’t relax immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the Furbo dog camera, seeking acknowledgment for his good behavior. Luckily, his efforts were rewarded with treats dispensed through the camera’s app on his owner’s smartphone.
Owners who wish their dogs could learn this trick for tidying up after themselves can take cues from the American Kennel Club (AKC). The AKC recommends training dogs to retrieve toys on command and learn the “drop” cue, rewarding them for placing toys in a designated box.
TikTok users were impressed by Ayce’s tidying skills, with over 2,100 comments praising his efforts. Comments like “He cleans better than my child” and “The goodest boy ever” flooded the post, showcasing admiration for the diligent pup.
