Who says only humans can enjoy classic childhood games?
Prepare to be absolutely charmed by Gus, an incredibly clever Australian Cattle Dog who’s showing the world just how intelligent and adorable our canine companions can be!
In a recent TikTok video from @morewithles, Gus stole hearts by engaging in a perfect game of “Pattycake” with his human mom.
Sitting patiently on the floor, Gus showcased his impressive smarts by lifting his paw at precisely the right moment to “clap” his mom’s hand with each line of the familiar rhyme.
He even looked like he was having an absolute blast! The game concluded perfectly on the “Bake me a cake as fast as you can” line, earning Gus a well-deserved treat for his stellar pattycaking skills.
The cuteness factor was truly off the charts!
Australian Cattle Dogs are renowned for their intelligence, ranking among the smartest canine breeds.
In Stanley Coren’s “The Intelligence of Dogs,” they are listed as the 10th smartest.
These dogs exhibit a remarkable combination of instinctive intelligence, adaptability, and a strong working/obedience drive.
Their sharp minds and high energy make them exceptional herders and companions for active individuals.
Beyond their brains, Australian Cattle Dogs are known for their loyalty, resilience, and ability to thrive in various environments.
Their intelligence and robust nature have even landed them roles in famous films like “Air Bud” and “Babe.”
Gus is a wonderful example of why we adore these intelligent and energetic pups.
We’re pretty sure he’ll be mastering the “Put it in the oven…” line of “Pattycake” in no time!
