For many people, purchasing a new home is one of the biggest milestones in life. It’s no surprise that most buyers want to know every detail about their new property before moving in—avoiding any unpleasant surprises. Kayla and her family were no exception when they prepared to move into their new house. However, shortly after settling in, they discovered an unexpected feature that hadn’t been mentioned in the listing. To their surprise, this “unlisted” addition turned out to be the most delightful part of their new home.
In an Instagram video shared on her profile, Kayla revealed the charming surprise. The clip starts innocently enough, showing her child gleefully playing on a swing in their backyard. While the scene seems idyllic already, what comes next elevates the home’s charm to a new level. The camera pans to reveal a small hole in the backyard fence, an unassuming feature that holds a big surprise.
From the other side of the fence, a furry face suddenly pops through the hole—it’s Stewie, the neighbor’s dog! This adorable pup uses the hole to peek into Kayla’s yard, offering friendly greetings and keeping an eye on the neighborhood.
While some might find a nosy neighbor a bit bothersome, Kayla and her family were thrilled by Stewie’s daily check-ins. “For those wondering, the hole was there when we moved in!” Kayla explained in the caption of her video. “The previous owner said it was for a sump pump, and that was before Stewie lived there.”
The video quickly went viral. Viewers loved the heartwarming interaction. One commenter quipped, “You’re lucky it wasn’t in the listing—bidding would have skyrocketed!”
Luckily, a community member saw what was happening and alerted authorities. Their intervention may well have saved multiple animals' lives. Demand authorities ban this person from ever living with or owning animals again!
Kayla and her family have embraced their unexpected canine neighbor and are even considering upgrading his peek-a-boo spot. “We are looking into making a door for him!” she shared at the end of the video. It seems this “hidden feature” has brought more joy than they ever could have anticipated, making Stewie the true highlight of their new home. The video is too cute to miss!
