It’s one thing to see a pup sit, stay, or roll over. It’s something else entirely to watch one pitch in with household chores. For one lucky dog owner, that dream is a reality. As millions have now seen in a viral Instagram video, an Australian Shepherd has raised the bar, not just for dogs, but for the rest of us, suddenly feeling a lot less productive than we thought.
Owner and Australian Shepherd make the perfect team doing chores together in video
Promise, an Australian Shepherd with a remarkable set of skills, is showing the internet what it really means to pitch in at home. A video shared by her owner on the Instagram account @my_aussie_gal shows the dynamic duo working side by side to tackle the day’s to-do list. The video kicks off with the text, “How my dog and I really do the chores,” followed by a fast-paced montage of Promise helping with just about everything.
From making the bed to taking out the trash, Promise handles her share of the work with precision. She is seen carefully pulling bed sheets, loading laundry, carrying cleaning supplies, and even helping with the dishes. Whether she’s holding items in her mouth or using her paws to assist, her actions are focused, smooth, and effective. Her training and discipline are on full display, and it’s impressive how effortlessly she moves through each task.
Her owner captioned the post, “With my thumbs and Promise’s work ethic, there is nothing we can’t get done.” And judging by the results, she’s not exaggerating. As of writing, the video has received over 23 million views and nearly 2 million likes.
Thousands of viewers flooded the comment section with admiration and plenty of humor. “My mom would exchange me for ur dog,” one person joked. Another wrote, “I am less disciplined than an Australian Shepherd.” Many were in awe of the breed’s instincts, with someone commenting, “She loves it because they are working dogs.”
