The young pup was introduced to Disney’s Pluto while visiting the theme park as part of a socialization experiment, according to a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/mydisneydorks/videos/1726147297600795/?comment%5Fid=947029425388063&comment%5Ftracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R4%22%7D "undefined") by [Guide Dogs of America](http://www.guidedogsofamerica.org/1/ "undefined") volunteer Sandy Steinblums. And while at first he was a bit starstruck by his [favorite character](http://time.com/4214744/disneys-frozen-broadway-date/ "undefined"), he eventually managed to calm down and showcase some of his newly-learned skills. “What you didn’t see after the 14-15 seconds video where he settled in a down was his down/stay for a few minutes while Pluto tried to break his stay,” Steinblums wrote. **Read More:** [See a 9/11 Search and Rescue Dog’s Sweet 16 Birthday Celebration](http://time.com/4031126/bretagne-birthday-party-rescue-dog-september11-911/ "undefined") Ace still has 6 to 9 months of training to go before he will become an official guide dog.
