One family from Arkansas celebrated the return of their dog after it managed to escape through a hole right in the fence in their backyard. And the most interesting part of the reunion was that the dog literally came right back to their front door. His owners were actually first alerted of his comeback through the doorbell camera.
As the story went, the dog named Dexter and his other siblings were out in the backyard playing when their mom Christina Muñoz Madsen went out. Christina had to take her daughters to their classes, the first one to gymnastics and the second to dance. It was an hour later when she realized that she did not let the dogs back in before she did her errands for the day.
As soon as the realization hit, Christina’s phone started to ring and it was her husband Dave calling. When she picked up, Dave told her that he saw Dexter through their doorbell camera. She was still out so for the next few minutes that she drove her way back home, Dave stayed on the doorbell camera’s speaker to make sure that Dexter didn’t leave. He called on to him and whistled to him to sit.
Dexter was confused for the most part as he tried to figure out where his dad’s voice was coming from. And at the same time, he had an idea that it might be coming from the doorbell and he was jumping up to it and licking it a couple of times. After a few more minutes of waiting, Christina came home and it was a sweet reunion.
The family later discovered that the hole in the fence through which Dexter escaped actually led to a backlot. He had to walk through a busy neighborhood before he could circle back home. And the whole family was just very thankful that Dexter found his way home safe and sound.
