Clever dachshund worms its way out of a tight spot

Tango the dachshund loves his human so much that he's dashed to the end of a narrow ledge to receive affection.

But while the sausage dog's body is the perfect shape to walk along the ledge, there's no room to turn around.

Tango's solution: like a driver trapped at the end of a tight lane, he puts himself into reverse and hops back down the ledge to reunite with his owner.

You can almost hear the "beep... beep... beep..." as he backs up.

The dog's cute ingenuity is an internet hit: Since Brazilian TV network R7 shared the video on its Facebook page, it's racked up a mere 16 million views.
