The dog, Maverick, went on a walk and wanted to bring a large stick into the car. However, in the video, he can’t quite fit the stick in the door. Finally, he figures out that he can hold the stick another way and can get the stick into the car with him.

The adorable video of Maverick doing some real-time problem-solving has gotten nearly 2.5 million views and hundreds of comments commending Maverick for being such a good boy. The video was posted by his human @kelpysnothome.

Maverick has gotten a lot of love in the comments of his human’s TikTok.

One user said, “He just earned a masters degree In problem solving in my book.”

“thought you were going to have to get a bigger car for a second,” another user commented.

“Goodest smartest boy,” many said.
