A video of a pug and his owner playing rock-paper-scissors went viral. In the video, the intelligent dog played the game to be able to get his puppies back from his human owner. The pug’s owner would always make the first move and let the dog choose what to do next, but the dog always outplayed him. This is definitely one smart doggo!
Er Bao, the pug in the popular video, always plays with his father and can flawlessly copy his moves. The canine guarantees that his human does not spend an excessive amount of time playing on his phone, and would interrupt him if he were already playing for too long.
According to the fur dad, Er Bao is an intelligent dog who can interpret human facial expressions. This cute doggo could detect when someone was angry and would kiss them to make them feel better. He knows when he is needed or when someone needs him for comfort.
Er Bao was also helpful to his human companions by fetching them tissue rolls and slippers when they needed these. So if you ever find yourself in a restroom without tissue, this pug will rush to your aid and bring you what you need.
Er Bao’s human father stated that his pug learned how to play rock-paper-scissors in just twenty minutes. Before filming the famous video, they practiced each game for 10 minutes, and the intelligent dog immediately caught on. Every time his owner showed him scissors or paper, Er Bao would retort by pointing to the hammer or scissors on the floor.
It’s remarkable that the pug mastered such a skill in such a short period of time, as normally a dog would require more time to master such a feat. There is no doubt that Er Bao is a highly intelligent dog.
