An adorable video shows a helpful dog loading his owner’s clothes into her washing machine before closing the door, waiting for it to finish, and then removing the laundry.
Rancho, three, clearly decided that his owner Petra Dvorakova needed to do some laundry at home in Brno, Czech Republic.
The Belgian Tervuren carefully picks the dirty clothes up with his teeth one by one from a basket next to their utilities, before closing the machine door with his nose.
Once the spin has finished, he opens the door again and unloads them all into the basket ready for folding.
Rancho the dog, who has his own Youtube channel, seems to be taking orders from his owner Ms Dvorakova.
He looks up at his owner with inquisitive eyes after every action and seems pleased to help.
Ms Dvorakova said: ‘Rancho did our laundry today! What a smart, good boy. He smelled our clothes and said they needed washing, so we let him do that.

One fan commented: ‘He knows more about doing laundry than some people I know.’
Rancho is also skilled in the art of suitcase packing.
The dog is much loved by owner Ms Dvorakova who shared a touching message for his birthday.
They wrote: ‘He makes our lives so much more fun. Although his third year didn’t start off very well, as Rancho broke his leg last August, we’ve pulled through and it has brought us even closer. Happy birthday, big boy.’
The video was filmed June 19.
