Beer with a lot of hops 

"Wallace. Grab me a beer please?" Sounds like a simple enough request. But for Ben Ahles, having Wallace actually bring him that beer is an "epic accomplishment."

 

Wallace is a rabbit. And for the past year, Ahles has been training Wallace to deliver his brew by pushing a tiny cardboard beer cart.

 

Ahles has posted the video of Wallace online and it has turned out to be a huge hit.  The project is part of Ahles' effort to build a relationship with Wallace, who belongs to Ahles' girlfriend.

"I grew up with dogs so I always liked how smart they were and how much they were able to learn. It really peaked my interest if Wallace was able to learn anything at all." 

 

Ahles designed the beer cart, and the trick to pushing it involves strategically placed snacks. 

 

"The only reason he does it is because there are raisins suspended at just the right moment for him to get up on the cart, strain for the raisins, and for him it's a basically a happy accident. He doesn't want to push the cart. He's just trying to get the raisins and he happens to push the cart right to me and give me a beer."

 

Previously, Ahles designed and built Wallace a castle based on the Red Keep from Game of Thrones.  For now, Ahles and Wallace are all set for Superbowl Sunday.

Wallace was living like a pauper until Ben Ahles built him a castle based on The Game of Thrones:

 

 The castle is made completely out of laser cut cardboard. 
It is slotted together without any glue or tape. 
Front gates lead to the main throne room
and behind that is a spiral staircase leading up to the tower.
