Chika, a Labrador Retriever mix, lives with her family in McDonough, Georgia. One night, her owners accidentally left her outside when they went to bed. Instead of barking or scratching at the door, Chika decided to take matters into her own paws. She approached the front door and used her nose to ring the doorbell, alerting her family that she was still outside.
The entire incident was caught on the family’s doorbell camera, which they later shared on social media. The video quickly went viral, with people all over the world praising Chika for her intelligence and resourcefulness. In the video, you can see Chika patiently waiting by the door after ringing the doorbell, confident that her family will soon let her in.

Chika’s owner, Robert Fox, was surprised to see his dog’s newfound skill. He told local news outlets that he had no idea Chika knew how to ring the doorbell. “I was shocked,” he said. “I didn’t know she could do that.” Fox believes that Chika must have seen her family members using the doorbell and decided to give it a try herself.
This isn’t the first time a dog has been caught on camera using a doorbell. In 2018, a dog named Marshall made headlines when he rang his neighbor’s doorbell after getting lost. Marshall’s owner had accidentally left the gate open, and the dog wandered off. When he couldn’t find his way back home, he went to a neighbor’s house and rang their doorbell for help.

These stories serve as a reminder of just how intelligent and resourceful our canine companions can be. Dogs are known for their ability to learn and adapt to their environment, and Chika’s doorbell-ringing skills are a perfect example of this. It’s also a testament to the strong bond between dogs and their owners, as Chika knew that ringing the doorbell would bring her family to her rescue.
So, the next time you accidentally leave your dog outside, don’t be surprised if they find a creative way to let you know they’re ready to come back in. And if you’re lucky, you might just have a doorbell-ringing dog like Chika to make sure you never forget them outside again!
