This Video of Service Puppies in Training Will Melt Your Heart
These puppy prodigies-in-training can already unzip a jacket, turn on a light switch, and fetch the mail – they're just as cute as they are clever.

These puppers are on their way to being star service dogs – but they have to put in the work first.

The nonprofit Puppy Prodigies Neo-Natal and Early Learning Program trains little hounds to become service dogs. By the time the pups are 12 weeks old, they already know how to open the fridge, unzip a jacket, turn on a light switch, and fetch the mail.

"Working with puppies at this neo-natal and early age instills a deep rooted bond to humans, gives them a solid foundation for all future endeavors, builds confidence, fosters enthusiasm for training, instills a willingness to be of service (in the case of a working dog future), reduces the possibility of a mature dog ending up in a shelter because of behavioral issues, and so much more," says the organization.

Ricochet the surf dog – famous for assisting kids with disabilities and veterans with PTSD – is just one of many pups who has completed the program.

Not only is it good for the dogs, but it's also adorable for us humans to watch as well.
