Recently I saw the story of Yari, a dog in England who can load the dishwasher. If only I had a dog that could do that!
Yari has been trained to pick up dishes and containers with his teeth, and then place the items in the dishwasher rack. He then nudges the dishes into place with his nose and finally, closes the dishwasher with his head.
His owner said it took daily training to get Yari to be such a great assistant. They spent 20 minutes a day practicing for the basic stuff, and then up to 40 minutes a day for the more complex chores.
Here is a video of Yari loading the dishwasher...
