Many dog owners teach their pooch how to roll over and play dead. But what good are these tricks? This video shows us a very well trained pooch who can operate a ride-on lawn mower.

Clearly Fido’s owner has looked at the things he doesn’t want to do, and trained his pup to take over the duties. I expect that the dog also knows how to fix dinner and drive the kids to baseball practice.

On one hand this video looks like a great thing for humans, but on the other you have to wonder; do dogs really need us anymore? If they can mow their own lawns, maybe human owners will become obsolete!
