Dog Used Trampoline to Escape from Backyard

By Alex in Animals & Pets on Jun 19, 2008 at 1:37 am

Harvey, a 3-year-old bull terrier, couldn’t get over the fence on his own, so the clever dog used the family’s trampoline and bounced his way to freedom!

"The fence isn’t all that high, but he couldn’t have climbed over it on his own and must have used the trampoline to bounce himself into my neighbours garden and got out," she said.

"He liked to bounce on the trampoline with my daughter Chloe, but he rarely went on it on his own. He liked to sit on it and sunbathe.

"I was just putting the shopping away and Harvey was in the garden. One minute he was there, the next he had gone." (Source)

But the story has a happy ending (well, depending on your perspective, I suppose – the dog may have a different idea): a few days later, Harvey and his owners were reunited.

    Sure that is a bull terrier? Looks like a boxer.

    They are crafty escapists too.

    “Harvey and his owners were reunited” and they broke him a leg to avoid a future escape. Happy ending.
