I once saw a video of an octopus solving a puzzle very similar to this, but how many people have a pet octopus? I can’t imagine either of my cats being as determined as this dog is to solve the puzzle. I didn’t know you could get a dog interested in a puzzle. A couple of my turtles might’ve stuck with it, if there was a food reward inside; but you just can’t get turtles worked up over squeaky toys.
That is pretty interesting. Obviously, it’s first choice was to have its human assistant take the balls out, instead. That makes a lot of sense, because why else would a dog even bother with a full-time human assistant except for opening packages?
Clever dog.
