Anyone who lives with a dog knows privacy is basically a myth. Walk to another room for five seconds, and suddenly you have a furry shadow wondering where you went. Even everyday tasks can feel like major events when a curious pup is involved. That’s exactly what happens in a video showing one dog’s dramatic response when mom steps away to grab an Amazon delivery.
Dog escapes baby gate when mom goes to receive a delivery
The short clip, posted by @howietheberner, begins with on-screen text that reads, “POV: Your mom goes to grab an Amazon package delivery from the back door.” Almost immediately, the Bernese Mountain Dog puppy Howie springs into action. Positioned behind a baby gate alongside his older companion, Uma, the young dog becomes visibly distressed the moment his owner walks away. He whimpers, squeals, and paces anxiously, clearly determined not to miss out on whatever is happening.
While Howie grows increasingly restless, Uma, the adult Bernese Mountain Dog, remains calm and composed. She watches quietly, seemingly unfazed by the temporary separation. The contrast between the two dogs quickly becomes the highlight of the video.
Driven by curiosity and perhaps a fear of missing out, Howie suddenly attempts an escape. After a few eager movements, the puppy manages to climb and jump over the tall baby gate. He lands successfully on the other side and immediately runs off to follow his mom toward the delivery. Meanwhile, Uma stays behind, looking on as if puzzled by how the younger dog managed such an impressive feat.
In the caption, the owner jokes, “Taller gate is no match for Howie,” suggesting this may not be the first time the pup has outsmarted the barrier. The video soon attracted comments from amused viewers who related to the situation. One person joked, “That’s what you get for abandoning them,” while another called Howie “the cutest escape artist.”
Some viewers predicted the puppy’s influence on his companion, with one comment reading, “He’ll be teaching his sibling so many things.” Another dog account chimed in, admitting, “Oh awkward, I’m guilty of this too,” referencing similar behavior from their own pet.
