Clever Dog Named Dawson Escapes Shelter, Viral Video Sparks Millions of Views

A video posted by the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter on Instagram is taking the internet by storm, showing one clever dog named “Dawson” making an unbelievable escape.

In the clip, Dawson is seen slipping out of his cage and racing to the shelter’s front door. Though it appears locked, the smart pup uses his nose and mouth to turn the lock and miraculously, he gets out.

The shelter’s original post read: “Though we had a couple of leads, still no sign of Dawson. This boy is smart and sweet, but needs to get back to the shelter so that when he does leave, it will be with a family. If you see him, call 304-696-5551 or 304-544-5891.”

Since the video was posted on January 6, it has already amassed over 98,700 views, quickly capturing the attention of social media users who can’t stop praising Dawson’s intelligence.
