Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayA 9-month-old Labrador retriever named Mort Moreland is stealing hearts across the internet with one unexpectedly thoughtful gesture: fixing a rug mid-play.

In a now-viral Instagram video shared by Last Hope K9 Rescue, Mort can be seen dashing after a ball in his foster home. In his excited scramble, he knocks the rug out of place—then suddenly pauses, uses his nose to straighten it, and only then continues playing. The charming moment has already been viewed over 1.3 million times.
The caption on the clip reads, “Did the foster puppy just… fix the rug?” Last Hope K9 added, “Mort is very polite and promises to help tidy up your home.” At just 8 months old and 27 pounds, Mort is already making a name for himself not only as adorable, but unusually considerate.
“This wasn’t a trained behavior,” said Amanda Dunn of Last Hope K9 Rescue. “It was just Mort being Mort.” His foster captured the sweet moment while playing a quick round of fetch indoors.
Originally found in rural Arkansas, Mort was fostered in the South before being transported to Massachusetts last month. He’s currently looking for a forever home in the New England area, and it’s clear from the video that his easygoing nature and playful charm make him a dream companion.

Despite little being known about his background, Mort has proven himself to be affectionate, intuitive, and a great roommate to other pets. He currently lives with dogs and cats, and he’s gentle enough for dog-savvy children as well. “Mort would flourish in a home that enjoys daily walks and offers consistent structure,” said Dunn. “He’d do great as a sibling or as a solo star.”
As shelters across the U.S. continue facing overwhelming intake numbers—with over 7 million animals entering shelters in 2024 alone—stories like Mort’s offer hope. They remind us of the personalities and quirks waiting to be discovered in each adoptable animal.
