In July 2019, Dmitriy Timchenko and his friend Natasha were walking through their hometown of Novorossiysk, Russia. As they were walking, they noticed a bulldog tied up outside a shop.

Then, something surprising happened: a stray dog ran up to the tied-up pup and started untying him!

Timchenko realized he’d seen the stray dog before—he spent his time running around Novorossiysk.

“I’ve seen this stray dog around town many times,” Timchenko told The Dodo. “He always uses the crosswalk to cross the street. He’s a very smart dog.”

As Timchenko watched in shock, the stray pup attempted to untie the bulldog’s leash. The bulldog sat on the ground quietly, looking unsure about what his new friend was doing.

The stray dog quickly untied the bulldog. Then, the stray pulled the bulldog up off of the ground. The stray dog continued pulling on the bulldog’s leash, and the bulldog reluctantly began to follow his new friend.

Timchenko ran into the store to tell the bulldog’s owner what was happening.

“We went into the store and called the owner on the loudspeaker,” Timchenko said. “She came outside to get her dog.”

The bulldog’s owner was amused and impressed by the stray dog’s ingenuity. She was also happy that her pup hadn’t gone too far!

Timchenko spent some time with the stray dog, and then the pup ran off to cause more mischievous. Timchenko was amazed by how intelligent the dog was, and he decided to share a video of the pup on Instagram. The video quickly went viral, receiving over 15,000 views. Many commenters tried to guess what the dogs were saying to each other.

“I’ve watched this like 4 times already! It’s beyond priceless! He’s like, Dude! Come on, we are so outta here!” one commenter wrote.

Another Redditor came up with the perfect tagline for the video:

“It’s a dog-walk-dog world out there.”

Many people also wanted to know if the stray dog got adopted. Hopefully, all of this publicity will help this smart stray find his forever home!
