The Malinois pup showed off its incredible sledging skills as it dragged the plastic board up the hill, hopped on and slid down the slope in Iowa, US
A genius dog has captured hearts across the internet after it was filmed taking itself sledging down a slope.
The video, which has been seen more than 10million times, captures the Malinois pup grabbing a sled with his mouth while running up a small hill in Iowa.
The brown pooch drops the plastic board on the ground and hops onto it, giving itself a little push for a ride down the snowy slope.
The clip was first posted by Sit Means Sit Des Moines, a dog training company based in Des Moines, Iowa, US, January 15.
They introduced the playful dog as Knox.
Viewers were amazed by the dog's exceptional sledging skills as they watched the 15-second clip on Twitter.
One said: "Absolutely adorable! A 'smart' dog is so much better than a smartphone lol!"
Another one commented: "It made me smile."
A third wrote: "I cannot get enough of this video."
Two years ago, a three-year-old Australian Shepherd also became an internet sensation after showing off her sledging skills in the video.
The young pup, named Secret, can also jump onto a sled with no assistance.
Her owner, Mary, shared the clip and wrote in a caption: "We finally got enough snow to really sledge yesterday and Secret couldn’t be more thrilled!
"It’s definitely one of her favourite activities, she probably went down this hill 50 times today!"
