Italian Greyhound's Unique Way of Going up Stairs Has Everyone in Stitches – Yahoo
Every dog has their own quirks, but one Italian Greyhound’s way of going up the stairs has taken the internet by storm. Instead of climbing like a normal dog, this clever little guy prefers to go backward up the steps, and his unusual strategy has everyone laughing.
In the silly video, the long-legged "iggy" is carefully maneuvering halfway up the stairs normally, before suddenly spinning around to make the rest of the climb in reverse. It’s strange, it’s silly, and it’s absolutely hilarious. Just check out his quirky, weird moves.
Shared on TikTok by @gabbyyyhorne, the hilarious video's comment section can’t get enough of his dramatic flair, with one person writing, “Great use of free will for him,” and another adding, “The way he has to go up half of them normally to even start going backward.”
One person joked, “Me when I thought the monsters were chasing me from the basement,” while another commented, "OMG, I love this! Especially as the parent of an 'iggy' who won’t climb more than two stairs."
Italian Greyhounds are known for being equal parts elegant and eccentric, so it’s no surprise one decided to reinvent stair travel entirely. Whether he’s being cautious or just dramatic, it’s hard not to love a dog who takes the scenic route, even when it’s straight up a flight of stairs.
