A Northern Territory politician returned home to a scene of utter chaos, a domestic landscape transformed by his own pets. It wasn't a burglary, or a storm, but a full-scale animal invasion of his living room.
The evidence, captured by a home security camera, revealed the audacious plot orchestrated by his dogs. First, they casually strolled out, one – a mutt named Thunder – skillfully nudging open a glass door with his nose.
Then came the unexpected guests: Sue, a gentle steer, cautiously stepped inside, followed by Cricket, a horse with a curious nose and an apparent interest in interior decorating. The couple had only been gone for a short time, enjoying a quiet dinner out.
The animals weren’t content with simply visiting. For an hour and a half, they turned the living room into a playful playground, knocking items from shelves and generally wreaking havoc. It was a slow-motion disaster unfolding while their owners were blissfully unaware.
Cricket, the horse, discovered a bowl of vegetable scraps intended for the chickens and proceeded to scatter the contents across the room. The scene was one of delightful, if destructive, abandon.
The fish tank wasn’t spared either. It appears someone took a long drink, significantly lowering the water level. While the lawmaker wasn’t sure of the initial fish population, he optimistically reported they all seemed to have survived the impromptu watering hole.
The open door, initially nudged open by a determined dog, was further compromised by the steer, who absentmindedly scratched against it, widening the entryway for his equine companion. It was a series of accidental events that culminated in a truly unbelievable homecoming.
