A mighty mouse is making sure a man’s workspace is as organized as possible.

"At first, I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed," he recalled.
So Holbrook decided to put a camera in his home’s outdoor shed to see what was happening when he wasn’t around. (SEE the video at the top of this article, and another video near the bottom of this piece.)

"I know he will see to it," he said.
