In this video YouTube video, a little dog named Tex struggles to solve a big problem. The adorable fluffball must have watched a few too many Disney films, because this puppy really wants to help clean house. (What’s next, tying a ribbon in his owner’s hair?) To get in on the housecleaning action, he grabs the broom and heads inside until troubled strikes: The pup quickly realizes that the broom will not fit through the doggy door. Luckily, Tex is a clever little dog whose helpfulness is only matched by his resourcefulness. After solving that problem, the only question left is whether Tex’s housecleaning services are for hire. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3718826/puppy-broom-dog-door/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3718826/puppy-broom-dog-door/"},"headline":"This Puppy's Devotion to a Broom Will Sweep You Off Your Feet","datePublished":"2015-02-23T18:19:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:07.585Z","description":"Watching him squeeze the cleaning tool through the dog door will make you feel even worse about slacking off on chores","url":"https://time.com/3718826/puppy-broom-dog-door/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","viral","Videos","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3718826/puppy-broom-dog-door/","name":"This Puppy's Devotion to a Broom Will Sweep You Off Your Feet"}}]}] ```
