Whoever said dogs can’t be resourceful hasn’t seen them when they’re determined to complete a mission.
In those moments, endless possibilities seem to open up, and you just know whatever comes next will be both surprising and funny.
I’ve watched my own dog do the same thing. It’s amusing how all dogs seem to act alike when there’s something they really want.
Still, what this dog managed to do was far more unexpected, proving just how inventive pups can be when they put their mind to it.
The Mystery Of The Escape
It seemed like a normal day for a staff member at Williamson County Regional Animal Shelterr, until they stepped into the kennel area and noticed one dog casually wandering around.
The rescuer couldn’t believe what they were seeing. How could she have possibly gotten out?
The kennels were tall, and no one had opened her door. A dog climbing that high seemed impossible. Right?
Well, the staff weren’t so sure anymore. They checked the security footage, and what they discovered left them stunned.
The dog, named Judy, had scaled the 6-foot kennel door and jumped down to the ground. What made it even more impressive was the way she carefully balanced on the metal bars to pull it off.
The video also revealed that this wasn’t her first attempt. Judy had tried to break free before, but this time, she had actually succeeded.
Once, while playing outside with other dogs, she even tried to slip away then too.
A New Chapter For Judy
April Peiffer, a staff member, told The Dodo: “She did her very best to get out of there, too. So we know that she just is all about going on her own walkabouts.”
Because of her daring stunt, Judy earned the nickname “jailbreak queen,” which the team thought suited her perfectly.
To keep her safe, staff moved her to a different kennel with a covered top so she couldn’t climb out again.
But the plan was never to keep her in the shelter for long. When Judy was first rescued by the Texas team, they discovered she was heartworm positive.
The staff focused on helping her recover and finding her a family. While they hoped adoption would happen eventually, no one expected it so quickly.
Soon enough, Judy found her forever home, and now she’s living happily with her new family in Texas. Let’s just hope they’re prepared for her clever and adventurous side in case she tries any more escapes.
