Roof-surfing Lurcher dog baffles onlookers after being spotted on top of terraced houses

If you saw a dog on a rooftop, you’d probably be straight on the phone to the fire brigade calling for some very tall ladders.

But neighbours of a Lurcher living in Wales are now used to his daily roof surfing, watching the world go by from the top of a row of terraced houses.

In a video posted to TikTok by Cari Edwards, the curious canine is standing on the roof wagging his tail, seemingly just enjoying the view!

The video app user hashtagged the post #howdiditgetthere and #typicalvalleys.

The comments section was filled with people asking how on earth the dog wound up on the roof - but apparently it’s a daily occurrence for the sighthound, who lives in Aberdare.

Cari commented on her own video to say she believes the dog accesses the roof from a back extension.

Upon realising the dog wasn’t stuck or in danger, people were quick to make light of its antics.

One commenter said: “He’s called Rolex - he’s the WATCHdog!”

Another added: “It’s a dog on a woof”, as a third suggested he change his name to “Rufus”.
