It took a little maneuvering, but the service dog’s owner was eventually able to free the toy. They then threw it back to the very excited dog, who scurried away with the important object. Tobias’ owner was very impressed that the animal had asked for help!

“He is such a smart dog, he has taught himself to get help when he can’t do something himself,” they wrote in the caption of their video.

Social media users liked the funny clip, which was viewed over seven million times.

“You are such a good service person,” someone joked.

“You know, he tried so hard to get it himself before he asked for help,” said another.

There’s a reason this service dog is allowed to have toys on the job.

Some commenters didn’t believe Tobias was truly a service dog, claiming that if he was, he wouldn’t be allowed to play with toys while on the job. However, in another video, the pooch’s owner showed that this good boy knows the difference between work and play!
