A pet husky named Lucky in China has managed to cook a meal of rice for his owner who used a home surveillance system to remotely instruct the dog.
The dog’s owner, a man surnamed Zhou from Zhejiang province in eastern China, had already washed the rice and placed it in an electric cooker before going out to buy groceries.

Dog turns on rice cooker to prepare meal for owner in China
Zhou said he took longer than expected after he decided to get a Covid-19 test and decided to ask his dog to start preparing dinner by speaking commands through his remote home surveillance system, the Qianjiang Evening News reported.
“Lucky, it will take me a long time to queue up for the nucleic acid test. Can you press the power switch for the electric cooker on?” Zhou is heard asking the dog in the video.
Lucky is seen lying down on his stomach, but on hearing his owner’s voice request he stands up and is then seen using his two front paws to press the “on” switch on an electric power point board where the rice cooker is plugged in.
Zhou then asks Lucky to go to the rice cooker and press its on switch as well so the meal can start cooking.
He said he was confident his dog could turn on the power board strip, as he had trained Lucky to do this previously. However, it was the first time that he had asked Lucky to turn on an appliance like the electric rice cooker.
