Missing Dog Returns Home in the Middle of the Night, Rings Doorbell

When their doorbell rang in the middle of the night, a couple in South Carolina anxious about their missing dog was surprised. They were even more taken aback when they discovered that their beloved dog had not only come home but had also figured out how to operate the electrical equipment.

According to Southwest News Service (SWNS), Mary Lynn and her husband Ryan claim that their dog Rajah was scared by fireworks and fled from their Greenville garden. The frightened pair looked for the dog for seven hours but were unable to locate her.

Rajah then came up to the house’s front porch at 3 a.m. and rang the doorbell with her nose.

Lynn told SWNS, “I don’t even know how she knew how to do that; I’ve never shown her how. She doesn’t go out in the front yard except to the car, so she’s never seen us use the doorbell. Ryan was up, waiting around to see if she’d pop up. He saw her on the porch, and he ran off and got her.”

While the dog was alright, she did return with some signs that she had gone on an adventure.

“She had thorns on her and seemed to have rolled in poop,” Lynn explained. “So, it seems like she had a great time.”

Based on her behavior, when she returned home, the 18-month-old puppy assumed she had done something wrong.

Lynn said, “She thought she was in so much trouble, and she was sad and sulking, but we were like ‘we’re just happy you’re back.’ It was hilarious, and we couldn’t stop laughing.”
