Dog uses flashlight to light his way outside at night [Video]

• Jake, a Labrador/Huntaway cross, is afraid of the dark, but he has found a way to help him face his fear.
• He has learned to use a flashlight for all the times that he needs to go outside at night!
• A viral TikTok video showed Jake’s owner handing him a flashlight, after which the pup holds it in his mouth as he goes outside to pee.

We all have our fears, whether it be simple or complex. Some are afraid of creepy crawlies, some are scared of heights, and others are afraid of the dark. One dog shares this fear, and with the winter months bringing in more of the night, he has to learn how to face his fear — with just a little help from his trusty flashlight.

In a TikTok video shared by user jakeyboo20, Jake the Labrador/Huntaway cross can be seen using a flashlight while he goes out to perform bathroom duties during the night.

When his owner hands him the flashlight, he holds it in his mouth to light his way.

The clever pup has mastered the use of the flashlight! Thanks to the light, he can see his way through the tricky terrain outdoors as he performs his bathroom duties.

The video instantly grew viral, with over 5.6 million views and more than 600,000 likes.

Viewers were quick to praise Jake’s clever skills.

One user commented, perhaps with a pun: “Man that dog has a bright future!”

The clip also inspired other pet parents to teach their dog the same trick, especially for dogs who are also afraid of the dark like Jake. One even said that they also had a black Lab who’s scared of the dark.

Black Labradors, which are known for their loving nature, were voted second in a TeamDogs competition for the UK’s favorite dog breed, just closely following the top spot taken by Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
