Little Dog Is Overjoyed Because His Family Constructed A Fence Window For Him

Meet Harry, a little dog who has suddenly learned his true calling in life.

I’m just sitting here watching the world go by.

Harry had always loved spending time in his family’s fenced-in backyard, but there wasn’t much visual access to what was beyond. The pickets on the fence were so close together that it was nearly hard to see through them.

But then something happened that offered Harry his first sight of what he’d been missing his entire life. The fence was destroyed by a storm, and a new one was erected with a slightly different design.

“When my dad repaired the fence, there were some gaps [between the pickets],” Harry’s owner, Alex Mcleish, told The Dodo. “That’s when I noticed Harry peering through the cracks!”

Harry was hooked.

For the first time, he could keep tabs on what was happening on the other side of the fence by peeking through the narrow slits. What could be better? A fence window, that’s what.

“I jokingly suggested it to my dad after I caught Harry spending a good amount of time staring out of the gaps,” Mcleish said. “I woke up on Sunday morning and my dad was making it for him!”

Mcleish’s father had made a window in the fence just for Harry to be able to see the world without any barriers.

Harry was overjoyed.

“Harry knew it was for him!” Mcleish said. “He watched my dad when he was making it like he was waiting for him to be finished.”

And it was clearly worth the wait.

Harry has been practically glued to that area since the window was built, watching people and other puppies stroll by with pleasure and a feverishly waving tail.

“He waits there for hours and only comes in when we call,” Mcleish explained.

Of course, Harry would not have complained if the fence had remained as it was. Mcleish’s father, on the other hand, was able to make the pup’s favorite new sport even more joyful with that beautiful alteration.

And, in a manner, the dog’s family gained a fresh perspective as well — one of an extra-happy Harry enjoying life in their backyard.

“Seeing him seeing the world go by surely makes us happy,” Mcleish added.
