Shelter Dog Who Has ‘Feud’ With His Doggy Door Receives Over 100 Adoption Application

For a lot of dogs, doggy doors are fun and gives them the freedom to go in and out of their homes whenever they want.

However, for one shelter dog at the Michigan Animal Rescue League, the doggy door is NOT fun – like AT ALL.

The shelter dog from the Michigan Animal Rescue League, named Arnold, is totally bamboozled over his doggy door – and the internet loves him for it!

Arnold is described as “goofy, affectionate, curious and bold” by content coordinator at Michigan Animal Rescue League Tommy Sanfilippo in an interview with The Dodo.

He is an English Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier Mix and was found as a stray, so he had a rough start in life. But that doesn’t stop him from having a zest for life!

His profile reads, “Arnold is playful, friendly, and always ready for his next adventure, whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or simply soaking up affection from his favorite humans.”

His profile also reveals that his warm and outgoing personality is sure to steal hearts, which he’s already proven now that the internet is in love with him!

You see, Arnold was moved to a new kennel recently, and it had a clear plastic doggy door that lets him freely move in and out anytime he wants.

However, Arnold is not like the other dogs – what other dogs see as the door of freedom, Arnolds sees as his nemesis.

 Sanfilippo said, “Arnold was pretty stumped by his doggy door.”

“We tried putting treats on the other side to entice him through, and even had a staff member squeeze through to show him that it’s okay, but he remained pretty wary of it,” he added.

In a TikTok video posted by the animal shelter, a staff member reveals, “Arnold just moved into a new kennel.”

The video then pans to Arnold, looking at the doggy door with a puzzled look, while the staff says, “He is not yet sure how to get through the dog door. He might need some pointers. Can anyone help my boy out?”

Now, Arnold is no longer afraid of the doggy door. So, to him, the next course of action was to pick a fight with the door.

In a follow up video, Arnold can be seen biting the plastic dog door with all his might and the staff saying, “you’re an interesting man, Arnold.”

While we mourn the demise of the plastic dog door as Arnold continues to antagonize it, the Internet is falling head over heels for the doggy door destroyer!

“Does Arnold know he’s a star?” one TikTok user wrote. “Way to overcome your fears, Arnold! We’re so proud of you,” another wrote.

Another user wrote, “There is a very special family out there waiting for this small man and his enthusiastic views about life.”

Sanfilippo reveals that Arnold’s “feud” with the doggy door has resulted in 120 adoption applications so far.

“Obviously he can only go to one home, but it’s cool to see interest in our shelter that could lead to some of our other animals getting adopted as well,” Sanfilippo said.

With the amount of applications for Arnold, we’re sure he’s going to meet his forever family soon, say goodbye to his shelter nemesis, and find a new enemy to fight with to fill all his doggy days!

WATCH: Woman Captures ‘Heart-Stopping’ Encounter Between Her Dog And A Black Bear

A woman from Florida was able to capture a ‘heart-stopping’ encounter between her dog and a black bear trying to enter their home in a now-viral TikTok video.

“Florida wildlife at its finest!” is what Krista Greener had to say when she and her dog encountered a bear curiously trying to get inside their Naples home.

Krista Greener shared the video of her dog seemingly having a standoff with a curious black bear on her TikTok account on October 28.

Greener reveals that she was just about to leave the house to pick up her kids when the black bear showed up.

“POV: you were just about to go pick up the kids when you see this at the front door!” the closed caption on the video read.

@kristagreener Was literally just about to walk out the door to go pick up the kids!😳🐻 —Florida wildlife at its finest! #WorkingFromHome #BearSighting #onlyinflorida #viralmoment #fyp #caughtoncamera ♬ original sound – Krista Greener

In the video, the black bear is seen trying to inspect the front door while Greener’s dog stood its ground, scaring the bear away by barking at it.

However, curious as one can be, the black bear tried to look for another way inside the house, inspecting another door from the kitchen.

Greener’s dog can be seen standing its ground, in another effort to intimidate the bear.

The video, which has now over 600,000 views and 21,000 likes, has the Internet stunned.

People were quick to run in the comment section of Greener’s video to express their reaction on the wild encounter.

One TikTok user wrote, “I could NEVER live in an area where bears roamed freely, thank goodness I live in a wee Scottish town.”

While another said, “I nearly had a heart attack when I saw a ferret walking passed my home a few years ago !!! Think if id seen a bear that would be it.”

“All i was thinking is ‘is your door locked cause bears know how to get into a car!’” another TikTok user wrote.

Louis Vuitton New Dog Collection Includes $60K Kennel, Dog Poo Bag Holder, Leather Dog Bowl, And Many More!

From having their own fragrance to their own footwear, the rise of luxury products for dogs is undeniable.

And this month, Louis Vuitton is joining in with the launch of their Men’s Spring-Summer 2025 Pre-Collection. 

The collection is said to be a “sartorial ode to the canine community” by Louis Vuitton’s Creative Director, Pharrell Williams.

In an Instagram post, Louis Vuitton writes, “Pharrell introduces a new collection dedicated to the cosmopolitan culture of dogs and their walkers — interweaving Louis Vuitton’s icons with an anthropomorphic audacity.”

Among the collection’s most notable piece is the $60,000 dog house called the “Kennel Trunk”.

According to Louis Vuitton’s website, the Kennel Trunk is “the ultimate luxury item for man’s best friend”. It creates the illusions of a traditional house, with a roof and its own windows.

And while the product is all about luxury and sophistication, the brand ensures that the Kennel Trunk is still very much functional.

“The door is removable, and the bottom of the trunk can be opened for easy cleaning,” its description read on the Louis Vuitton website.

Aside from this, the metallic name card holder on the house can be customized in store.

Other dog accessories that are part of Pharell’s newest collection include a $470 dog poop bag holder, a $2,330 flask holder, and a $2,160 dog bowl.

Along with the collection, Pharell also launched a pop-up called “Dog LVERS” which “showcases and celebrates the Spring/Summer 2025 pre-collection by inviting fashion enthusiasts and dog lovers alike to explore a masterfully curated selection of Louis Vuitton’s latest casual and formal menswear alongside an exclusive line of accessories for man’s best friend; dogs, all in a pet-friendly atmosphere.”

The pop-up also boasts cozy areas for both two-legged and four-legged visitors to relax in!
