Getting a haircut can be stressful for anyone, and for Felix, a mini Bernadoodle, it was apparently too much to handle.
During a recent grooming appointment, this nervous pup decided he’d had enough and made a daring escape, embarking on an incredible mile-long trek back to his own front door.
His owner shared the surprising details in a now-viral TikTok video from June 19, 2025.
The footage, captured by a doorbell security camera, shows Felix trotting up to his house, circling, and then patiently lying down on the porch.
Unaware of the drama, a mail carrier arrived, noticed the anxious pup, and rang the doorbell, unknowingly facilitating a heartwarming reunion.
“Felix got loose at the groomer today and ran over a mile home while my mom was out looking for him.
I stayed home in case someone found him, and I’m lucky I did,” the owner recounted in the video.
She expressed immense pride and relief, adding, “Thank you to my lovely mailman.”
Despite the “hijinks,” Felix remains “the best boy in the world” to his family.
The incident, which has garnered over 790,000 views, highlights the incredible homing instincts and loyalty of our canine companions.
Felix’s story is a beautiful testament to the strong bond between pets and their families, proving that no matter the distance or the unexpected escape, some dogs will always find their way back to where they belong.
