This is the impressive moment a clever pet dog let himself out of a gate.

Dandan, the white Aspin, was caught sneaking out of their home in Manila, Philippines, on December 3.

Footage captured by pet owner Evelyn Bedua shows the intelligent canine using its mouth to slide the locks of the gate effortlessly. Upon successfully opening the barrier, he immediately walked out of the house.

Evelyn said: 'I feel bad for my children because I accused them of opening the gate, that's why they were able to go out. It turns out, Datdat was the one opening it.'

Aspins can learn tricks and obedience skills, excelling in doggie sports. They are natural problem-solvers, always eager to learn and explore.
