“It gives us peace of mind to know he can help us!”
The other day, Lucia and her boyfriend, Federico, arrived home to their apartment only to the find themselves stuck in the hall out front. Though Lucia had her key, Federico’s key had accidentally been left in the lock on the inside.
“My key didn’t work because the other one was there,” Lucia told The Dodo.
The couple was stranded — but fortunately, their situation didn’t go unnoticed.
Inside the apartment, the couple’s cat, Achilles, could hear them struggling. And lucky for them, he knew just what do to.
Here’s that moment on video.
Like a furry little hero, Achilles came to the rescue.
“If he didn’t open the door for us, we’d have to call a locksmith,” Lucia said. “He saved us!”
Curious to see the cat’s technique, Lucia and Federico recreated the scenario to capture it on camera:
For his good deed that day, Achilles was rewarded with a special treat.
“We gave him tuna,” Lucia said.
Getting locked out is an all-too-easy mistake to make — but Lucia and Federico can rest easy knowing Achilles has their backs.
“It gives us peace of mind to know he can help us!” Lucia said.
