They say they weren't home. Yet someone set the timer on the oven. It rings at 27 secs. You can tell food and oven are hot the way the dog reacts. Animals really are amazing.

pretty lazy lot and not as bright as this smartie pants. Spoiled by all, they were tubby little beggars that loved to sleep, play tug of war and howl like banshees whenever my sister practiced playing her clarinet. I miss them all.

I am guessing that they already knew their dog's abilities and wanted to make a viral video. Poor little pupper could have been burned.

He is actually using a tool ( the chair) which is one of the things that distinguishes "primitive" animals from "more intelligent" ones. in anthropology -speak.
