Genius dog Hoya shows amazing intelligence by opening the refrigerator and even bringing wet wipes

According to a video from KBS Animal TV : Animal for You animal4u, the special daily life of the pet dogs Hoya and Haru, and their owner Hong-seok, living in a house in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, has been revealed. In particular, the clever appearance of the pet dogs helping Hong-seok, a fitness trainer of 13 years, with his workouts drew attention.

From opening the refrigerator to delivering wet wipes, the activities of a genius dog in daily life

In the video, Hoya shows behavior that goes beyond being a simple pet dog, appearing to help with the household chores. When Hong-seok takes a rest after finishing his workout, Hoya even opens the refrigerator door himself to take out food. A touching story was also shared where, when Hoya became sulky because the door of the refrigerator they are currently using did not open well, Hong-seok applied blue tape to the door to adjust the magnetic force so that Hoya could open it easily.

Hoya's intelligence is also evident in his ability to assist with housework. It is basic for him to fetch laundry and put it in the washing machine, and he even reacts like a secretary when the phone rings during a workout. Another pet dog, Haru, acts as a source of energy by increasing the intensity of the workout by swinging his father's arm, which is like a hand club, in rhythm while Hong-seok exercises. Haru also showed a scene where he delivered a water bottle to Hong-seok, who was panting after the workout, as if it were a familiar task.

In particular, when Hong-seok acted as if he were sad, Hoya approached him to offer comfort. The scene where Hoya brought wet wipes to wipe away tears after Hong-seok showed tears added emotion to the scene. Hoya possesses the ability to understand and act according to a person's situation like this.

58 out of 60 points on a psychology test, the basis for high empathy

The reason Hoya can perform such intelligent actions is thanks to his high intelligence and empathy. In the video, it was mentioned that Hoya recorded 58 out of 60 points in a test by Professor Stanley, a psychology doctor. This high score supports that Hoya's ability to communicate with people is very excellent and that he is at a level where he can read and react to his owner's emotional state.

Hong-seok described Hoya not as a simple pet, but as a 'reliable companion to share life with.' Hoya has a gentle and cautious personality, showing characteristics of sensitively capturing Hong-seok's emotional changes and offering warm comfort. Hong-seok, a trainer of 13 years, started exercising to fix his painful back after being discharged from the military, which became his profession, and thanks to companions like Hoya and Haru, he is spending happy times with nothing to fear wherever he goes.

Customized spaces for large dogs and meticulous diet management

Hong-seok carefully created a living environment so that the large dogs Hoya and Haru can stay safely and comfortably. To prevent the pet dogs from the danger of going outside the yard, he personally manufactured and installed a wooden fence, and stated that he moved to a house with a wide yard to minimize the inconvenience caused by large dogs to the surrounding neighbors. The furniture inside the house was also arranged minimally to make it easy for the large dogs to move around. For Hoya, a separate dedicated bed was prepared next to the master bedroom bed so that he could live together with his owner.

Diet management is also thorough. Reflecting the professional characteristics of Hong-seok, a fitness trainer, he meticulously prepares and provides not only kibble but also multivitamins, joint supplements, and eye supplements for Hoya's health. In particular, considering Hoya's age and health status, he carefully manages by serving meals tailored with nutrients in fixed portions. During mealtime, he shows a strong bond with the pet dogs by being considerate so that Hoya can eat first according to the hierarchy, and Haru greets mealtime by kissing Hoya.
