An overheating puppy opened a fridge door and climbed inside to cool down as sweltering summer temperatures reached 107 degrees Fahrenheit in Thailand. 

Video footage shows the cute Golden Retriever opening the refrigerator door with its mouth and squeezing himself onto an empty glass shelf at his home in the northern province of Lambang.

The dog, named Soji, was able to fit his small body on the fridge shelf and appeared relieved to be able to find a cool spot to relax.

 

Pet owner Panya Bunhong, 25, said he had opened the fridge door to get some food but as he closed it his clever puppy pushed it open again with his mouth before climbing in. 

'Soju has always hated the heat,' he said. 'He sensed the cold air when I opened the refrigerator. 

'He then came to check it and sneaked past my legs to climb inside.'

Mr Bunhong's girlfriend Wichuta Chain, 27, said it was not the first time the puppy had climbed into the fridge and he often waited patiently for someone to open the fridge door. 

She said: 'Soju did that to me once as well. It was a hot afternoon and he could not bear the heat so he waited for me to come to the kitchen and open the fridge. He was so patient.' 

The puppy - much to its horror - was pulled out of the refrigerator after a few minutes and was to the bedroom to cool off in front of an electric fan instead.    

Forecasters said the 107 degrees Fahrenheit temperature was the hottest in Thailand so far this year as the summer season officially started this month and is expected to last until early June.
