- A family got quite the surprise when their security camera app alerted them that someone was at the front door of their Kansas home - while they were 1000 miles away on vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was their pooch Dexter! He had escaped doggy daycare and made it all the way home, several miles from the kennel. But just how did this clever canine know the way? Dexter may know, but he isn’t talking.
Dexter is Intelligent as heck. He wasn't feeling the daycare.
He wanted to make the dog version of home alone
@@arlint692 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Hacker Killer I know right it legit would be good haha
I didnt like them other pooch no how.
they were prolly beating the dog shxt outta them
Dexter knows three things:
- where he lives
- how to get there (without GPS, by the way)
- how to ring the doorbell to announce he's outside
Let that sink in for a minute, people... 🐕
4) he also escaped dog daycare
5) got over a 6 foot fence
bro i dont even know wath bell to ring 9/10 times Dex is a legend for shure
6.) and travelled for 2 miles during night time
😂😂
This homie had to cross multiple roads.
Poor Dexter probably felt abandoned at doggy daycare. Then to find out his family wasn't home! What a range of emotions for him! Glad he's ok! He's a very smart doggo.
I’m glad they were able to talk through the ring to him though kept him calm
Shut up
Does anyone else really want to see the dog's reaction when they came back from vacation? Must've been so happy!
Poor dog. He must have been out of his mind worrying about his family, wondering why they weren't answering the door. Glad he's OK.
I agree. Good dog 🐕.
They weren't home. That's why he was at day care. The dog was fine.
0:06 ⬅️ why they weren't answering the door
Ys poor baby he must have been so scared and thought his family left him
Wow attributing human traits to dogs
My dog left me on the beach cause he was fed up with me laying in the sun, he went home and stayed on the cool porch while I bawl my eyes out looking for him everywhere but home😂
LOL he’s an independent doggo 😂
Lol.
😂😂😂😂🌝🌝🌞🌞🌞☀️☀️☀️
🤣🤣😅😅😅🙈🙈🙈
I’m sorry 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dad once saved a dog from the streets; he’d whine when he was inside because he wanted to be outside, but he’d whine outside because he wanted to be inside. So one day my mom told my dad he had to find a new family for him. He did and he drove him about 1 hours out of town to his new family. 3-4 months go by and as I’m walking to school I see him running towards me. This dude, walked and walked until he found our house!! It was so nuts, so we ended up readopting him.
Wow gg
Good that it ended well but so cruel on the part of your mother to force your dad to send him away to another family. The poor thing could have got lost or hit by a vehicle or something.
@@smcv8365 well, we rehomed him to another family who gladly wanted him. He just happened to hate it and came back. When he escaped they called my dad and no one could find him. We didn’t know what had happened to him until that day he came running towards me.
Is he still alive? Such a cute story. He clearly had chosen you guys as his family. 🙂
@@smcv8365 what?? How is it CRUEL to rehome a dog? 2- how was the mom supposed to predict that the dog would run away? 3- using YOUR 'logic' the 'poor thing' could STILL get lost or hit by a vehicle right?? So now what? Smh 🤦🏽♀️ kids.
The internet was supposed to make yall smarter...not do the opposite. Here is a tip, whenever you're speaking on something that you're not educated on, ask polite questions--that way you have an opportunity to LEARN something. Dont make bold assumptions.
What kids fail to realize is that, people EXPECT kids to ask questions & not know everything so its normal to ask questions in order to learn. Take advantage of being a kid & ask away! You're ONLY a kid a short 21yrs...then its ~80yrs of being an adult😐
My heart would've broke, seeing him frantically ringing the doorbell😢
It's crazy how he was able to walk all the way back without getting lost. Also, good thing the daycare workers got him back fast.
I would hold them responsible for him getting out. Six foot fence ain't nothin for smart, good Boi. Silly hoomans.
when the daycare lady pulled up he looked back at her like "ohhhh no" lol. the disappointment!!
Hopefully daycare guys spent time with him to give him companionship & comfort. Guess that's what Dexter was missing - human touch
My grandma’s dog escape a vet clinic and walked 9 blocks back to my grandma’s house
Dogs have a great sense of direction due to their sense of smell
I laughed so hard. Dexter was ringing that doorbell like he witness some serious ish at that daycare lol.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Like he saw a dog on dog beat down or something.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way he looked back and saw the daycare guys pullin up lol poor guy.
*Hahahahaha...*
😂😂😂😂
90 minutes and 2 miles later with all the pitfalls likely in between goes to show how smart this dog is!!
I’m quite shocked he knew what roads to take for 2 miles! 😮
@@sbsk2526 i guess the pee-mails helped
I live in this area and this dog is very lucky he wasn’t hit by a car! The street they referenced (87th street) is 40mph and busy. I’m soooo glad that this had a happy ending! I’m glad Dexter knew the way home!
Should of left him at a family members home who knows these day care places 🤔
It was almost midnight though.
@@heath6809 Good thing...
I think deep down I would feel horrible. can't imagine how upset that dog was. But it sure does show how much that dog loves his home an family
Right? He was probably expecting for his dad or mom to open the door but nope
Exactly!
One thousand like by me
I know! I think the owner talking to him just confused and traumatized him further. He walked or ran all that way and in his mind he probably felt rejected. 🥺
Nobody mentions the fact that he knows to ring the doorbell! Oh my heart just broke for him!
*Never underestimate the affection of animals*
TRUE!!! Next vacay find dog friendly hotels - Dexter gots to go!!
Nor their intelligence!
*I don't. When an animals loves you and trusts you that's something that should mean a lot.*
someone I knew married her dog
@@valerielstevens4712 You can also hire a housesitter.
I vividly remember a memory from when I was a child. My parents were getting rid of one of our dogs and they decided to just leave her in a dirt lot somewhere (it's messed up I know, theres more) and decided to take me with them (see told you). They left her there and I cried all the way home. The next day she showed up at our house before I went to school LOL.
What the hell is wrong with your parents
@@mellohi6175 no
@@mellohi6175 i don't think so. She clearly said her parents want to get rid that dog
that is so sad, i hope things worked out ok for you, what a trauma
LMAOOO dog said I ain’t leaving
I read somewhere that dogs have the intelligence of a 2-year-old human, this dog is a lot smarter than a 2-year-old. I can't imagine a toddler travelling 2 miles and navigating streets and cars to safely make it home.
The fact that he knows his way back home and traveled such a distance without getting lost is CRAZYYYY.
Only world he knows
My old dog would run away to play with people across town at a park and make his way back LOL
When my chihuahua was still alive. Even though she is an inside dog, she goes to the backyard and sometimes escapes the backyard and be wondering all over the place until she gets bored than she would come barking at the front door.
I’ve heard of pets going across country sometimes
@@StopListenThink yeah a couple miles isn't all that significant. Especially if he's lived in the area for enough time to map out the area during walks and drives.
I love how they tell us all the directions to their house.
I'm definitely paying a visit when they're gone.
Now we know no one is at home..Lol
@@nalinihurry8249 nah, Kevin is home alone. Good luck though
@@beny988 that boy Dexter waiting for you.
@@proxpaider3618 I wonder how many millennials and younger don't get your movie reference lol. Well, in that case, how many numbed middle aged Americans won't get your reference either lol 🤣
The dog is smarter than the average human. Plus the dog knows he is loved.
Bless his little heart.Dexter said forget this place,I’m going home. I want my mommy and daddy. This is so sweet,I watched this twice.❤️🐶
How much riding has he done in cars? That’s a very good sense of direction.
Clearly just one car.
He rented.
He didn't trust UBER...
He probably learned most of it from his walks through the neighborhood with his owners. On his way out through the neighborhood he likely started to recognize streets and his favorite stop signs and poles that he usually does his business on lol
Chocolate rain
Yooooo wtf it’s Tay Zonday!!!
Chocolate rain
I always wonder if my dog would be smart enough to find her way home. Dexter is a smart doggo
Right lol love it 😊
Mines did ran all around the neighborhood looking for her and had to come back home because it was hot that day. she ran and guess who was waiting for me I left the gate open in case she would show up
Most likely. My sister lost her dog camping 6 hours from home. She looked all day. When she got home, he was sitting on the porch.
Most of them knows how to go home, unless you don't want them to.
Their nose
Hope this family appreciates the love Dexter has for 'em. They're so lucky to have him so smart and adorable.
He is so clever and smart! I lost my dog to kidney failure! Blessings to him and your family!
Poor Dexter. You can see how frantic he is to get into his home where he feels safe and secure. Poor baby couldn't understand why they wouldn't let him in. One thing for sure, I'd never use that daycare again. Imagine had Dexter not known how to find his way home.
I don’t know of any daycare that has a fence higher than 6 feet. It’s still their fault, but you can’t really blame them. Most dogs won’t climb a fence that high. Who would’ve thought to make it higher?
@@ChristianSchu depends on size of the dog, my 10 month old GSD can jump 6ft no problem and he doesn’t do jump training
Okay but you don’t even know how long the daycare has been running with no dogs ever getting out before.
Thats the first thing that came to my mind. Seeing him find his way home and then look so eager/scared ringing the door. He just wanted to go home. I know it's not the case but it seemed like he thought they just left him somewhere and were at home. Someway I need to see Dexter's reaction to when they finally come home lol
I'm just glad he didn't get lost or dognapped. You see people dognap other people's dogs in front of them what's gonna stop them from doing that when you're not around. I glad he's safe and there's will be a good ending to this story when they reunite.
Poor doggy probably didn't like daycare. Hope they treated him good there. It's always good to have a family member nearby just in case of moments like this.
It is good to have a RING, just in case someone you know knocks at your door.
Its just a dog chill. Can be put into any burrito
@@IIMMWINNING aww a pooch burrito 😍🥰 cute imagery so snuggly
@@IIMMWINNING Who's stopping me from making a human burrito while still caring for someone?
@@rau1488 Go ahead and do it then?. Not sure if this was supposed to be a comeback or not, but I'd like a good human steak. Wouldn't mind some dog too.
Having a smart pet really is a different kind of connection.
"Honestly, no" ... wow! I wanna know the story behind that! Give this dog a CZcams channel! Tell his stories
Dexter is one smart dog. Bless his heart. Glad his Dad could talk to him.
Actually animals know where they live and can make it back home from their sent and family sent that has a diststink smell for them to make it back home!!!!

Damn he’s smart and loyal as hell. I’m surprised he didn’t Uber himself a ride home. God bless you dexter.
Lol
Haha
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Lmao 😂 Uber
I think I’ve watched this more than 20x! Dexter missing his family, his determined and go get em spirit, the doorbell tone….I’m just impressed with his intelligence. His desire to see his family is touching and very cute
Thank you Dexter. You let people know that dogs have feelings like us human so they know to treat dogs well. ❤
At least you know he is being treated well at home.
❤️
Brought tears to my eyes. Dexter is not smart, he’s a genius. Just adorable 🤓
Yes I know right?
Yes he is!!!!!
Imagine seeing your precious baby trying to come home to you like that... I'm tearing up as I type this!!!!!!!!!!
@@goldenautumn8416 Me too...poor precious pup misses his family.
Tears
Aw baby boy. It breaks my heart seeing him so homesick and desperate to get in.
I would have had a family member come get him and then I would be coming home to my Doggie 💙🐕
He’s ringing the doorbell with his paws. OMG 😱 he is incredibly intelligent!
Cant tell if that’s sarcasm but he’s definitely smarter than a lot of people by remembering the path home in pitch black with no directions
@@TheInterestingInformer It’s called smell
@@MrFunnyHandsInYourPants can you be placed in a place youve never been in and find your way back home using nothing but your senses and landmarks? Smell alone gets you nowhere lmao.
most dogs can ring door bells and open doors
Dogs can be quite intelligent, my German shepherd is able to get into my room even if it's locked which is quite inconvenient
We had a cat like this. When my daughter started kindergarten he went through severe separation anxiety every morning. He became an escape artist and would find his way to the school and to her every chance he got...which was often.
What a sweet story. How did the school respond? I'm hoping they allowed him to go to class with her.
@@desertrose2085 Ah thanks! The poor teacher was deathly allergic so she was less than amused. Most everyone else was cool with it but he did get brought home by the groundskeeper a few times for misbehaving.
😭Soooo precious. 💗💗
Yowza, all the chances for the cat to be killed, injured, taken in by a good Samaritan. If you love your pet you protect them!
so cute get another cat so yours wont be afraid
That dog is human, and his love is so strong. What a GREAT dog, people, never leave him again!
Oh man, I'll bet he almost gave his mom and dad a heart attack. I can't believe he made it all the way home.
this is proof that a dog would do anything just to see it’s owner again. so cute
When my grandfather died, the entire family got so depressed because of his dog. His dog would not stop looking for him and crying and it was absolutely heartbreaking not being able to explain it to the dog.
And scumbags actually abuse and abandon their pets. I can't even imagine how someone could do that.
More like it looks at them as a source of food and security and will forget about its owners the moment someone else provides it with food and security.
Never liked the term OWNER though even among pets. Hope im not being a total sap and say Buddy or Friend. Owner is a bit much but thats just me anyways.
@@shawnredmond8402 you know from experience?
That dog is like I don't want to be around these other crazy dogs!!
Haha right 👌🏾😂 More intelligent than others
honestly lol!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This
Ha ha very funny
What a sweet story of a dog who is obviously loved very much. So incredible that he made it home safe and sound! Very Smart Boy!! ❤️🐾🐾❤️🐕
Two of my fogs did this exact thing. Except they weren't at a real doggy daycare. My grandmother was caring for them while I was moving. She lived about a mile and a half from the house we were moving from. The blue nose all gray pit bull name was Nikko and a chihuahua mix named Simba. Anyway, I got a call from my grandmother TWICE, two different days saying that my dogs were missing. We drove to her house, searched her neighborhood and near by neighborhoods, but nothing, we couldn't find them and no one had seen them. So just a thought randomly came to me and said let's go check our old neighborhood where we had just moved from. We started driving up and down the streets, and finally came to our street where we lived, and low and behold, BOTH Nikko and Simba were sitting on the porch wagging their tails when they saw my car. Lol. I wished I could've gotten this on camera. Nikko didn't give me time to open the car door, he jumped through the window, and Simba tried but was too short, all I saw was his head every second as he jumped to get a peak at me. Ahahaha. They both got in wagging their tails so hard and fast, I drove them back and gave them a pep talk, and said stay with grandma until we get settled in and mommy will be back to get you all. They did it again, and I knew exactly where to look and they were on our old porch again.....Rest in peace to both Nikko and Simba who passed away about a year apart. We had them both for about 11 years.
These must be the best owners ever for the dog to actually want to go back home and find his way home says alot about the owners
Or the doggy daycare was really horrible...
@@freyabradshaw5128 yea
Says more about he dog than owners
@C. Haze Dogs can display similar intelligence as a very small child don’t underestimate their brain capacity.
@C. Haze Chile anyways 😒
calling him smart is one heck of an understatement for him to remember his way back home 2 miles away 😂
Dexter is a genius dear...he went to Yale...Lol
@@nalinihurry8249 quit it , everybody knows Dexter went to Oxford 😂 he’s a different level of genius
Anyone else besides me crying for this poor baby?🥺🤧 glad he's ok
This is why my dogs go with me everywhere. No, I haven't been on vacation in fifteen years .... worth it, though!
I hear ya! 💕🐕🦺
When I do take a short vacation, I have one of my nephews or nieces stay at my home with my dog... that way he feels safe and less stressed.
Poor baby.......he just wanted to be with his family. I'm so glad he's ok!
He doesn’t like strangers I guess😅😅
Modern doorbell security is amazing! Imagine not knowing the little guy had come home and with no one there to let him in or take care of him. I think hearing his owners voice probably comforted him a bit too! :)
He prob would have stayed chillin till they got back
I agree
@@MyNameiisMudd Not much chillin without food and water
Problably they was wasted at the black jack table.
I think if it wasn’t for the doorbell camera the neighbors would’ve noticed in the morning. Or the daycare would’ve called and they would’ve called the neighbors.
Having a really smart, loyal dog is a blessing. I had one too and she made my life so much better. You have to enjoy the time with them because it doesn't last forever
Great story ! Dexter is a wonderful, amazing dog ! Dexter is super intelligent to find his way home and attempt to get inside by ringing the bell ! His dedication and love for his family is remarkable ! I love seeing these videos with different types of animals ringing the doorbells and captured on cameras!
My dog used to do this. She would walk to my aunties house in the day when bored to play with their dogs, which is a 30min walk. Rip Bella. Most intelligent dog I've owned, knew everything I said and was a small/medium dog but was always turned into the pack leader to any random dog in the park etc.
My dog goes home by himself as well
I had a service dog named Bella, I loved her to bit too
That's adorable. I'd be scared he'd get run over though
This comment caught me off guard because I used to have a dog named Bella that got out a few times too. I think she used to go to our neighbor’s house because they were family friends and really good with dogs.
Horrible people who let their dogs run around loose don’t deserve them!
😭.....my heart would break, not being able to open the door for him, only for him to be taken away back to the day care. I would worry he would think I abandoned him OR that he heard my voice from the monitor and thinks we're inside but refusing to open the door for him .😢
Yeah I'd be like 'great vacation, hon, but that about wraps it up, lets go home."
So did they go home right away?
Yes, imagine how sad that the dog would have felt, being taken back to the day care, after he had heard his owner speaking to him through the door bell.
yeah. i agree ! i'd probably fly right back home lol.
dont u guys think youre overracting a bit?
aw i just know his owners treat him very well. also he’s extremely smart to be able to walk home from the daycare place
Love they were able to speak to him and calm him in that moment as well can’t wait to get my own set of dogs for my family 💙
Dexter said screw this, I’m going home! Bless his heart. Our poor babies don’t understand why we do things sometimes. It would be so nice to be able to explain things to them. I’m just so glad Dexter didn’t get injured on his little escapade❤️
Ha ha ha ha!!
They understand better than we think if we explain to them.
Exactly 💯 he said he didn't like them other kid's
The dogs is like "i’m not a puppy no more I don’t need no damn daycare” 😂
I’m so glad the daycare came and got him and took him to safety. My heart dropped seeing him at the door and no one was home to take care of that beautiful Pup Pup. I wish they would’ve shown the family greeting him once they arrived home.
Home is home. Dexter just wanted to go home.
Poor pup, they weren’t even in town to snuggle him up. “He takes his job of protecting us v seriously”😂😂 my dog would’ve stopped at the first family w food. Lol
Lol
Lol!
😆😆😆
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Hahahah ahhhh I had a Beagle and he would have done the same....he had no real job whatsoever and his loyalty was for everyone he met ....LOL
If the dog is this smart, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he then started talking XD
It's not "smart", it's just using it's sense of smell to move from one familiar smell to the next. It's just blind luck it happened at night. During the day, car fumes and pedestrians would have disguised those scents.
Family Guy lol
Seem like the dog is smarter than you
I've seen some dogs talk and drive cars here on youtube.
Talking Ben :
We caught a little Jack Russel that escaped a daycare. He didn't have a tag so I started calling the Vet offices and pound and so on. Turned out his owners had boarded him at the Vet's office while they were out of town. They had tied him outside and didn't supervise him and he escaped. When I talked to them they wanted to pick him up and I told them no, I would keep him til his people came home. I didn't trust them to care for him. He spent the night in my spare bedroom. The Vet had contacted the family when they couldn't find him and they were already on their way home from another state to help in the search. The next morning after driving all night his Mom came and picked him up. She just cried and cried. So did the dog. It was beautiful and touching and I was so happy to have been able to make it happen.
Bless your beautiful 💕💖💕💖
Thank GOD for the Ring doorbell and thank GOD he was ok❤️
Dexter is incredibly intelligent. Funny how a dog can find his way home after two miles, but some people can't. Glad nothing bad happened to him.
Well humans don't have the same sense of smell. He just followed familiar smells from one point to the other
They seem surprisingly cool that their dog was able to escape without anybody noticing. They’re lucky he wasn’t hit by a car. Might be time to find a new daycare.
Hey Florida guy, go find some bitchs
I was thinking the same thing. I would be angry and fearful.
They didn't say no one noticed him gone. They could have been out looking for him. The video didn't say one way or the other.
@Monkey Boy my dog never escaped? I’m confused on where this is going
I'm sure they weren't at first. This interview wasn't done immediately.
Aw poor baby! 🤣 that’s too heckin cute! What a smart sweet boy!
my dog did this yesterday.i was staying over at my boyfriend's house(she loves being there and he loves her very much).she just decided to go back to my place out of nowhere and escaped.
my neighbour recognized her and saw her standing in front of my door and assumed i was there so he just let her in (i never lock my door,it's the french countryside,nothing ever happens).my boyfriend and i were frantic and searched for hours!!!i was in tears! meanwhile she'd been sleeping on my bed for over two hours.and when i got home she just looked up like "oh,hey moron,i see you're home" and just went back to sleep.
It’s not just smarts, it’s love and connection. That dog is deeply connected to you guys. This is beautiful😢🥺❤️
Rosie it’s true
It's hard to find that kind of commitment from our own species. They're angels in disguise
It’s not like he found them in Vegas.
@@Puglover130 it is like it, you won't
That’s actually an epic theory! He was following the “connection!” 🤩 ♥️
I watched a neighbors dog for a few days and even though she knows us, she got so homesick and wanted her people. On several occasions, I would open the door and she would bolt out straight to their house. I would have to go get her and carry her back. She would barely eat. I had to hand feed her and sleep on the couch with her. Boy was she happy when her family returned.
Awe. At least was just a temp situation. When dogs r abandoned they can really suffer
My parents dog gets severe separation anxiety. It totally stresses me out so my brother dog sits him instead of me. He literally looks like he could die of sadness.
The best thing for the separation is from what I learned have something with the owner's scent on it be it an old t-shirt or an old blanket. I head it's suppose to work well with any animals that suffer from separation anxiety now it's like anything really somethings work better with others.
what a cute story, not only the dog but you as well, were happy when they returned I bet. You're a wonderful neighbor, bless you.
He has his own GPS. 😂🤣😅🤣😂Poor baby , he’s wondering why mom and dad don’t open the door. 😂🤣😅 He must really love you guys. 🤣😂😂 I feel so sorry for him. He must be dealing with separation anxiety. He is adorable. ❤
Oh bless him! I hope the rest of his stay at the day care wasn’t too stressful for him. Very clever dog! 🥰
At the humane society I use to work there were many dogs that can climb 8 ft chain link kennels easy. That’s why we had some kennels that were completely enclosed with fencing on the top.
Usually smalls dogs I've noticed but big dogs have done it. My silky loved everyone on our block and well seeing her climb our chain link fence was a sight
Wow! Impressive!
Same, it’s always been the big dogs that manage to get over the fence for me.
Daycare facilities should also have that kind of fences so that dogs don't escape.
Also coyotes and cougars can get to them in some places...so need covered enclosures...
The dog knows his way home. He paid attention to the driver
Next time put a bag over his face on the drive to the day care 😂
@@sanchezs7614 So, something that will turn out like dognapping?
@@sanchezs7614 🤣
Dog probably just used it’s sense of smell to get home.
He either memorized the route in the car from home to doggy daycare.... or smelled his way back to the strong odor of home (strong to a dog, that is).
Ok, that sound of the ring door bell makes my dogs bark at 100% volume and I don’t appreciate it from a video lol
“LEt mE iN pLeAsEEEE“
Omg this dog us HILARIOUS.
That not funny that sad
My Uncle had a German Shepherd that managed to find him miles away on an Army base. My Uncle was training as a sniper in our army and he went to boot camp more than a 4 hour drive away from home. The dog traveled for about a week in the Canadian wilderness and managed to find my Uncle while he was out training (the family thought that he escaped the suburban yard to chase a coyote and they couldn't find him despite looking everywhere for him). Luckily this was during the summer months, but none of my Mom's family know how the dog managed to find my Uncle at an Army base the dog had never visited before. The dog's name was Junior and he was my very first dog friend when I was a kid. That dog was super patient and let a toddler snuggle up with him for naps on his dog bed and play with his bones. I grew up learning how to interact with dogs because of him and he was a very good boy.
@@joevarga5982 I almost didn't believe the story until my Uncle had some of his army buddies over for a visit/dinner and they all got excited to see Junior still alive (he was about 11 years old, but the incident happened when Juniors was 2) and they started to reminisce about how shocked they were to see the dog digging under the outside chain link fence and bolting straight to my Uncle from several fields away. They were all convinced that their commanding officer was playing a joke and my Uncle's family were hiding nearby somewhere to "surprise" him with a dog visit as it was a couple days after my Uncle's birthday when Junior found him (my family did call my Uncle to let him know that his dog had gone missing about a day or two before his actual birthday).
All of the guys apparently really like Junior and because they didn't have dog food on the base they gave him meat & bread based cafeteria food for two days until my Mom could come pick him up on a weekend. Junior apparently got to spend a good portion of those days being spoiled by their commanding officer as they did physical drills all day long.
It's too bad the news didn't report about that kind of cool dog news back in the 80s.
Dog smarter than his daycare employees.
I'm so happy Dexter made it safely on his journey home. He is definitely intelligent. No doubt about that. This story is the cutest and made me laugh.
This is hilarious. 😂😆 My dog found her way to our old neighborhood, trying to find her way to the previous house we were living in! Thank goodness the old neighbors found her roaming around and recognized her and brought her back.
Crazy how he smelled his way home over 2 miles show you how smart and how strong there scent is
Sending lots of love to Dexter!!! 😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
During Covid only one employee was in the office per day so I used to take my border collie to work when it was my day to be there. After we went back full time she had learned how to unlock the deadbolt on my door and one day she escaped the house and showed up at my work about 5 miles away.
Dexter said "I don't know wtf y'all doin here but I got a family that loves me. Peace out ✌"
This same thing happened to my husband’s dog when his parents were at a local hotel. The dog crossed several streets and ended up at the door of their hotel!
Damn! Doggo was determined.
That's incredible!
He wanted to see his grandparents
Smart dog Dexter. He wanted mom and dad. So glad he got there safe.
Wow he knew his way home all the way from the daycare! Wow what a smart dog!
He’s smarter than the people running the day care. I would not have let them have my dog back after they let him get loose.
Should had put electric wire on top of that 6 ft wall. That would had prevented Dexter from escaping. 😉
Yea they should start put electric fence and prison like barbed wire all over the compound..
@Christopher Burse They should actually keep an eye on them. Having a fence is not enough, plus being so late at night makes me think they were making the dogs sleep outside... And not even counting if they had all of them.
Oh LOL I agree
@@KaleidoscopeEffect Yup. And anyone who's business is dogs should know how some of them can climb. There should have been all kinds of precautions that prevented this.
Now I wonder about all the dogs I've seen wandering the roads over the years...how many of them weren't strays and just on their way back home from the kennel.

LOLOLOL
An amazing story of a dog’s love and loyalty for his family. Wow!
The dog has a better directional compas than I do.
I had a similar incident like this with my dog. Me and my family went on vacation and my dog was at my grandmas house. One day later he escaped and head to our home
Wow
Is he okay?
Same. My dog was locked up for armed robbery. Unfortunately he got a hold of one of the guard’s guns and murdered everyone in the pound including the other dogs. But thank God he found his way home. 🐾 🏠 🐶

Anyone could do that but yah
@@Cassxowary yeah of course “anyone” could but not any dog lmao
Years ago I worked for A vet. We often boarded this one dog. He was such a sweetie. After one such a visit, the owners picked him up and not long after he showed up back at our door. Seems he had more fun at the vet!
Awe come home mum and dad Dexter needs you 😢 what a wee soul 90mins journey on his own to find his home and no one’s there! Need a change of dog sitters me thinks! Glad he’s safe, Las Vegas ain’t worth it 😂🏴🇬🇧🥰
