Family Makes Sign To Explain Why Their Dog Is On The Roof, And It Becomes An Internet Sensation

ADVERTISEMENT

Meet Huckleberry, the doggie who loves nothing more than spending time on the rooftop of his human’s house and looking at the world from up high. Passengers are so surprised by the view, Huck’s owner even wrote a ‘Don’t Be Alarmed’ note. It says that they’re perfectly aware of the strange roundabouts of their dog and that they make sure the canine is safe at all times.

“We never leave him in the backyard without someone being at home. He will not jump off unless you entice him with food or a ball!,” reads the note. The owner adds: “We appreciate your concern but please do not knock on our door… We know he’s up there! But please feel free to take pictures of him and share with the world!”

The guy even created a special hashtag to celebrate the antics of his incredible doggie – ‘#hucktheroofdog’. Whatever Huck is doing up there, watching the world go by or contemplating his life, let’s admit that it’s pretty impressive!

Dogs don't have an accent. They just say Human... But in a deeper scooby like tone :)

I'd knock on their door to ask for permission to just stand in their yard, just looking at Huck - in hope he will come down and play with me (because i can't climb and i want to play with Huck)

Our blue heeled loved going out onto the roof through our bedroom window but my neighbors called the cops and I was actually given a citation for endearing an animal. Had to go to court even. They are lucky to be getting away with it!

That's an entirely different context, from a cat's point of view. Your cat is simply contemplating the vastitude of his/her realm.

When we were remodeling our house and adding a 2nd story, our dog, who is also a golden, would hang out on the roof. After the remodeling was finished, he would climb a ladder to get up there, but couldn't get himself down. Someone would have to climb up and bring him down. He was never dissuaded. Couldn't keep him out of our above ground pool, either.

So what happens if he slips & falls or there is a strong gust of wind that makes him lose his balance up there? I dont care how much my dog enjoyed being up on my roof theres no way in hell i would allow it!!!

I still wonder how he can climb up there and why his owners don't do anything against it. The reason why he climb up there is maybe because he is bored.
