A group of dogs figures out how to open a yard gate so they can all go for a run outside.

The clear leader of the operation, one-year-old husky Meetung, likely worked out how to prise the bolt out of the ground after watching his owner open it in a similar fashion.

"The dogs are very smart. I think they learned to do this after seeing us open the gate, and they are copying us when they want to go outside," said owner Ponrchai Choothong.

Meetung's older brother, also a husky, and the family's other dog, a border collie, look on before joining the younger dog in his dash for freedom.

The footage was filmed in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on June 29.

These three pet dogs figured out how to open the gate and go for a run outside in the yard.

Owner Ponrchai Choothong caught one-year-old 'Meetung'' performing the cheeky escape in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on June 29.

His older borther, also a husky, and the family's other dog, a border collie, looked on before joining the younger dog in his dash for freedom.

He said: ''The dogs are not aggressive so there's no reason for people to be scared if they escape.
