You could do it in the reverse direction. Dog makes a scream of frustration and then uses his body to help him bring the large plank through his patio doors.

  •  The problem-solving pooch was filmed in his home in Penetanguishene, Ontario
  • He finally managed to pass the doorway after much struggle
  • His owner, Susanne Westwood, praised the tenacious Weimaraner, called Wally










It was then that a boy who is clever figured out how to pass a large plank of wooden board through a narrow entrance.

The video, recorded in Penetanguishene, Ontario, and uploaded to YouTube on December 27, shows a determined dog trying and trying to get a long stick into his home.

Wally the dog discovers the plank of long wood behind the barbecue.

Wally's first attempt is not successful and he howls in frustration

Finally, Wally edges through the small gap, angling the plank exactly right

Brown Weimaraners embody the saying, “If at first you fail, try again.”

Wally, clearly delighted by his find, begins to explore the wood piece – biting and scratching it.

The brown Weimaraner finally manages to grab it after some wrestling and then trots happily toward the house.

Wally quickly finds himself trapped in an almost insurmountable Tetris match as he attempts to squeeze the large plank through the small doorway.

Success! Wally makes it back into his home with the long plank between his teeth

Success! Wally manages to get back in his home after he has finished the plank.

Settling in front of the TV, Wally prepares to gnaw on the long plank of wood

Wally sits in front the TV and prepares to chew the wood plank.

Wally succeeds after several unsuccessful attempts and frustrated howling, and then finally angling himself to let the plank and he slip through the door.

Susanne Westwood laughs at him and says, “Oh! You did it!” Smarty pants.

Wally, who is presumably about to chew his prize to shreds, ends the video.

Westwood spoke out, describing Wally’s process of maneuvering the plank through the doors as ‘hilarious and astounding’.

After Wally’s struggles, a YouTube commenter reminded Wally of an old saying that “Where there is a will there’s also a way.”
