A senior dog who had managed to escape through a gate several times left her owners puzzled until a secret camera revealed her sneaky way to freedom.

Owner Jordan Quick of Washington purchased a play yard dog gate off Facebook Marketplace to use as a divider between the living room and workspace near the kitchen. It was meant to keep the dogs out of the area. However, it didn't seem to work for the family's senior canine, Remi.

For about two days, Quick noticed the family's nearly 16-year-old Pomeranian somehow escaping the gate and ending up in the kitchen, which the owners block off while their toddler eats because of all the dropped food.

"After a few times of my husband and I asking each other who put Remi on the other side of the gate, I decided to set up my camera to figure out exactly how she's getting through," Quick told Newsweek.

As it turns out, there had been a small opening in the gate due to a missing pole. This left the perfect amount of room for Remi to squeeze her way through and out to freedom on the other side.

Meanwhile, the family's two other dogs sat behind the gate, focused more on what was happening in the kitchen than on the escape artist.

"Only one of our other two dogs has used the small opening to get in the kitchen when he was motivated enough, but typically, they both know to wait on the other side," Quick said.

As for the senior canine, she still gets away with escaping. Quick said they have yet to fix the gap, allowing Remi to come and go as she pleases.

What Do the Comments Say?

"We thought it was pretty funny, and I thought others would enjoy seeing her sneak right through, so that's where the video came from," she said, which proved true. The June 1 Instagram video, posted under Quick's account, @jordanwithallthedogs, brought in over 229,000 views and 19,000 likes.

"That wasn't even a slight hassle," a viewer commented.

"All fluff, no stuffin," a second commenter said, while another wrote: "All that fluff was deceiving."

A fourth Instagram user commented: "I kept watching, waiting for the dog to jump I almost didn't see the other dog walk through the fence."
