When it comes to dog ownership, there are moments that leave us in stitches and marveling at the sheer wit of our furry companions. Take, for instance, the recent escapade of Stella, the mischievous canine whose shenanigans were shared on the infamous ‘r/facepalm’ subreddit.

Her proud dad set out with a toolbox in hand to erect a fence for the purpose of safeguarding his beloved pup, Stella. Cue the heartwarming music, right? Well, Stella had other plans!

After what could only have been hours of work and determination, the newly erected barrier was complete! He went on to unveil his masterpiece to the world, beaming with pride as he filmed every inch of his handiwork. And oh boy, it's a fence to rival the Great Wall!

But just as he was basking in the glory of his accomplishment, Stella, with an air of nonchalant mischief, decides to put his craftsmanship to the ultimate test.

With the grace of a gymnast, she effortlessly hopped over the fence, leaving her dad speechless and viewers in stitches.

But wait, it gets better!...

Just as the reality of Stella’s escape plan sunk in, our intrepid dad delivered the ultimate punchline, capturing the essence of the situation with a single word: “Dammit!”

Lesson learned: when it comes to outsmarting fences, Dogs reign supreme! Looks like Dad will need a taller fence and perhaps a crash course in doggie escapology. 

He sure didn't expect that.

The Belgian Malinois breed is known for athleticism. Dad should have built a taller fence

Dad didn’t sound so disappointed, almost as if he knew what was coming

Even 12 inches isn’t high enough for a Husky. How much more a Malinois?

“I had the opposite problem for awhile. My terrier mix and Bassett Hound would dig under the fence and escape.”

So glad

“Omg I can’t stop laughing ….. he jumped with no effort.”

“Been there. I had to invest in a cable as a last resort after being fined $100 for 2 failure to control my dog.”

This Redditor’s German Shepherd scales walls over 10 feet tall

Dad would need to build an extension of the wall. But there’s every possibility that the dog will find other ways to escape

“Had a husky for a little while. We had a full 6 ft fence he laughed at it.”

Either make an extension or tear it down and build a bigger fence

“I’m soooo glad I didn’t teach my dog to jump.”

It’s moments like these that remind us why we adore our furry companions – their antics never fail to entertain and brighten our days.

So, what’s the moral of this tail-wagging tale? Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, our pets will always find a way to keep us on our toes. 

So here's to Stella, the master of mischief, and to all the dog owners who find themselves outsmarted by their beloved companions. 

And hey, maybe next time, Dad will remember to build a fence fit for a master escapologist like Stella!
