This handy pooch is so eager to help his owner that he's learned to climb ladders 'like a human' - so he can join the handyman at work in clients' lofts. Nik Whysall takes cockapoo Oscar to work every day as the dog can't bear being away from him while he manages rental properties.
However, when the 55-year-old was in a client's loft he was shocked to see Oscar's head poking through the hole at the top of his ladders. Wife Julie caught his 'impressive' skill on camera last month [Jan 27] when Nik was carrying blankets into their own attic.
The five-year-old pooch can be seen stepping up each rung of their wooden ladder one hind leg at a time and using his front paws to reach up and keep himself balanced. Within ten seconds he scales the steps and hops into the loft to join Nik who carries him down when he's finished with his chore.
