Canine child completes shortest great escape ever after being outsmarted by his pawrent who let the hot southwest sun chase their pupper home instead of themselves: ‘Minutes later I hear whimpering at the door. There’s Tesla, looking absolutely defeated.’

If the canine comedy movies of the late nineties and early two thousands have taught us anything, it is that dogs are kind of not to be trusted, but that they are also independent heroes who know exactly what they are doing. Meaning that you can only not trust them because they will likely not admit that they are running away from home to save the day. Now, the pupper in this story certainly did not save the day, but he is certainly not to be trusted. A well-known canine criminal who enjoys the challenge of breaking out of wherever he is placed, this daring doggo made yet another break for it in this story. But this time things were different.

This time his pawrents were finally smarter than him, and using nothing but the burning power of the sun, brought their doggo home with his tail between his legs and a regretful whimper for having escaped in the first place. So listen up, pawrents to puppers who like to play Houdini, for this story is one that you will want to share with your escape artist doggo such that they might reconsider their runaway ways.

    My dog is very intelligent. I named him Tesla because he had a white streak on his forehead that looked a little like a lightening bolt, but he ended up growing into his name. He's curious,

    he feels like. I have no idea what kind of breed he is, I picked up the little bor from a pop- up shelter. I can only guess that he's part terrier, part drain clog, part muppet. I was told that he was found with his

  • Who would have thought that this dog’s prequel story would play so heavily into his life story. Well, that is until this story came about. This doggo really would make a great addition to the early 2000s collection of canine comedy movies or dogedy movies as we like to call them.

    let him run free in an enclosed dog park before and he will mostly just sit by my feet and look bored. But when he escapes, you can see the joy and glory in his eyes. He doesn't look like it, but he's surprisingly fast: he

    streamlines his body and breaks into a full on gallop. If he doesn't want you to catch him then you're not going to. He's pretty much impossible to catch unless you corner him somehow or he finds another dog.

    He's also a jok about it. There have been times where I've chased him for a full hour, lost sight of him, and dejected went home only to find him waiting impatiently at the back door.

    Tesla isn't the kind of dog that tries to rush out the door all the time. Oh no, he bides his time. He waits until you've let your guard down and aren't paying attention. If he's fenced in, he'll walk along the fence looking for a weak

  • Ah, that is just painful. To be tending to your blind dog and for your other dog to take advantage of that is simply diabolical. Like, it is one thing to be a crafty canine who likes to exploit the loopholes and literal holes in life. But to do so while taking advantage of someone less fortunate being helped is just a step too far, no?

    The thing about Tesla is that he is very hairy. He has long coarse black hair with a thick, black undercoat. He sheds like a beast year round despite being brushed out 2x/week. What ever breeds are knocking around in him I
