URGENT UPDATE: A startling incident has captured the attention of social media users as a Rottweiler named Harlee shocked her owner by bringing a severed bird foot into her bed. The bizarre discovery occurred earlier today, October 15, 2023, and was shared on TikTok by user @harleetherottiee.
In a now-viral video, the owner awakens from a nap to find the foot resting on her bed, while Harlee sits in the corner with a guilty expression. “I just woke up. There’s a foot on my bed,” she exclaims, revealing a feather on the floor that confirms her worst fears. The clip has already garnered over 926,300 views and 25,400 likes on TikTok, sparking laughter and disbelief among viewers.
The owner, visibly shocked, follows Harlee to her crate, only to discover the living room scattered with feathers, prompting her to quip, “Not my finest of naps, I tell you.” The video captures the emotional rollercoaster of surprise and humor, making it a must-share on social platforms.
A second video, recorded on a Ring camera, shows how Harlee managed to bring the bird inside. The footage reveals the Rottweiler running home in the rain with the dead bird in her mouth, leading the owner to humorously conclude, “I guess this is how.”
Experts weigh in on the incident, noting that hunting behavior is instinctual for dogs, a trait inherited from their wild ancestors. However, Dr. Jess Kirk, a veterinarian, warns that consuming dead animals can pose serious health risks, including the transmission of parasites and bacteria. “If your dog eats a dead animal they’ve hunted, it’s crucial to consult a vet,” she advises.
While the incident has sparked laughter online, some users shared their own pet horror stories, drawing comparisons to cats and their infamous hunting habits. One commenter remarked, “I would expect that from a cat, not a dog,” while another shared their experience of waking up to unexpected “gifts” from their feline companions.
As the story continues to develop, pet owners are reminded to monitor their furry friends closely during outdoor activities to prevent similar surprises. This amusing incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of our beloved pets and their instincts.
