If you’re ever wondering how far dogs will go to (literally and figuratively) to bark at birds, then you have your answer right here.
On Monday, October 14, a white dog was spotted by a paraglider atop The Great Pyramid Of Giza, the tallest man-made structure for around 4,000 years and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, to bark at birds.
In the jaw-dropping footage, the paraglider, Marshall Mosher, is seen soaring high in the desert sky over the largest Egyptian pyramid, when he zoomed in on the top of the pyramid to find a dog just casually roaming its apex.
“A dog climbed all the way up the Great Pyramid of Giza!” Mosher wrote in the caption of the video, uploaded on Instagram.
The footage has since gone viral and garnered almost 800,000 likes on Instagram.
Many on the platform have joked about the bizarre situation. One user wrote, “If he pees there all Egypt belongs him.”
While another user said the dog is the Egyptian god, Anubis. “Not a dog. That is the egiptian God Anubis. He is considered the guide of the dead in the afterlife and the protector of the tombs. That’s why it is over the piramid.”
However, some can’t help but show concern about the dog’s well-being and if it was able to safely climb back down.
Thankfully, Mosher did a few more follow up videos on his encounter with the dog, to ensure users that the dog is safe.
In the first follow-up video, Marshal showed a footage of him with pyramid dogs, who apparently live in the area, and of him paragliding again, and going back to the apex of the pyramid.
Unfortunately, the dog on top of the pyramid was no longer there. “I have no idea how he climbed that… so crazy,” Mosher said.
This caused more concern from users. So, Mosher uploaded a second follow-up video of him paragliding again above the pyramids showing the pooch casually climbing back down the pyramid.
“During the annual @skyone.egy paramotor event over the pyramids, we spotted a dog who had climbed all the way to the top of the Great Pyramid of Khafre!” Mosher wrote in the caption of his video.
“After going back up to look for it, we got another siting of it running back down. He apparently lives up there :)”
And in the final follow-up video, Mosher shows a clip of the dog climbing down the pyramid again, but this time, almost reaching its base.
“Just as these ancient monuments have stood the test of time, built stone by stone through sheer will, grit, and vision, we too can create lasting legacies when we pursue our dreams relentlessly,” Mosher wrote.
“Whether that dream is to fly over the pyramids or a dog’s dream to have the most epic view in all of Egypt!”
