We’ve all heard tales of clever dogs, but a recent incident in Crestview, Florida, takes canine ingenuity to a whole new level!
Meet Kota, a mischievous 9-month-old pup who decided to embark on a solo adventure on June 17th.
His escape, however, was just the beginning of a story that left his owners utterly shocked and hilariously impressed.
Kota, it turns out, is quite the Houdini.
As his owner, Osric, shared, this clever canine is a “digger” by nature.
On that particular day, he put his talents to use, excavating a strategic hole under the fence to make his grand getaway from the backyard.
For about 30 minutes, Kota was out exploring the world on his own terms.
But here’s where the story gets truly brilliant.
After his brief taste of freedom, Kota apparently decided that home, with all its comforts (and presumably, food), was exactly where he wanted to be.
Instead of waiting for someone to notice his return, this resourceful pup walked right up to the front door and, much to his owners’ astonishment, began ringing their Ring doorbell camera repeatedly with his nose!
Osric was “totally shocked and happy” to see Kota patiently (and persistently!) signaling his return.
While Kota had accidentally bumped the doorbell before, his owner is convinced this time it was a deliberate and intelligent plea for re-entry.
It was a moment that was both “funny” and entirely “unexpected.”
As of the article’s publication, Kota hadn’t attempted another escape, perhaps realizing that the doorbell trick is best saved for special occasions – like getting back inside after a daring adventure.
This clever pup certainly proves that our furry friends are always full of surprises!
