This Bulldog Was Scared To Cross Over This Cable But Then He Came Up With A Genius Solution

The smartest people in the world are all problem solvers. They have a tremendous ability to examine an issue from all angles and figure out what the best way to handle it is. These problem solvers also have a tendency to think completely outside the box and come up with a solution that no one else has ever thought of – like Steve Jobs when he created the iPhone and Taco Bell when they created the Quesalupa.  Well, you can count Bentley the bulldog among these titans of innovation. Bentley is an English bulldog living in Vancouver, Canada who became Internet famous recently for a genius bit of quick thinking. While walking through his house, Bentley found himself face-to-face with one of his worst fears – a yellow cord. Bentley knew he didn’t want to step on it, but he also wasn’t about to let it keep him from crossing the hallway. That’s when Bentley’s mind was put to the test, and he more than impressed everyone who was watching.  The English bulldog calmly turned around and put his back to the cord. Then, one step at a time, he walked backwards over the cord so he didn’t have to face it. It may seem weird, but for Bentley it was a perfect solution. Once he stepped past the cord, Bentley turned back around and continued his journey out the door. From the look on his face, you can tell this was one happy pup.  Please enjoy and SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook!
