What started as a single wildlife sighting has now become a funny nightly routine. The dog’s owner carries him outside to check the backyard and keep an eye on the fence. The adorable routine comes from the Instagram account luluandmi_, which features a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Jack Russell X living in the suburbs. The account often shares their daily adventures, but this particular routine may be one of their funniest.
Dog rides on owner’s shoulders for nightly fence patrol after possum sighting
The video begins after dark, with the owner stepping into the backyard while carrying the small dog high on her shoulders. The text explains exactly why they’ve started doing this: “Our nightly routine after a possum ran across this fence one time.” Apparently, one unexpected possum appearance was all it took for the dog to decide that the backyard needed regular security checks. His owner lifts him so he can get a better view over the tall fence.
As the owner walks around the yard, the dog sits on her shoulders, watching the fence. The backyard has plants, trees, and a tall wooden fence, making it the perfect spot for a curious possum to show up again. The routine is especially funny because the dog looks as though he takes his new position extremely seriously. The owner seems just as committed to the routine, willingly carrying her furry security officer around the yard every night.
The unusual nightly patrol quickly entertained viewers, who imagined what it must look like from the other side of the fence. One user wrote, “Imagine you see a small dog over a 6 ft fence looking at you.” Another called him “The goodest possum watcher.” One viewer wrote, “You can tell he’s serious about the job.” Another added, “Our Dachshund needs this every night too!!!”
