Growing up with a Beagle in my family, I always knew they were a particularly smart breed. Our dog not only worked with my dad for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Beagle Brigade, she also learned how to open up our fridge to raid the leftovers (and let my brother and I take the blame).

This pup might just have her beat, though, with his seriously impressive ninja prowess. Cages mean nothing when you’ve got moves like this cutie.

Oof, I hope that didn’t leave a mark. And that he was able to go back for his friends! Never leave a man (or beagle) behind.
