Security cameras are supposed to be inconspicuous, catching good or bad activity without anyone knowing it is there. But every once in a while, smart ones can sniff out the cameras, and even if they know a camera is there, they'll sometimes do whatever they want.
An Australian rescue greyhound center that has been helping save retired racing dogs since 2009 set up a security camera in one of their rooms. The footage showed a room with a doggy gate, pillows, and dog beds. It was placed there to check in on the rescue dog, but the greyhound was nowhere to be found. Or at least that's what it seemed like at first.
The February 25 video, which was posted by TikTok user @greyhoundrescue, showed a greyhound poking his head up seemingly out of nowhere. He finally found where the sneaky security camera was located and he wanted to give the camera a piece of his mind.

The caption of the video reads: "When you locate the spy cam."

This greyhound jumped up and put his snoot right up against the camera. All that sniffing was to determine who was behind the contraption. His paw even hit part of the camera causing it to move slightly.
A dog finding the camera was likely the last thing this rescue was expecting. And now that he knows where the camera is located, he'll make sure to do all his bad behaviors off-camera. Although, it's doubtful rescue dogs would ever get in trouble!

Benefits of Doggy Cameras
As much as dog owners want to be with their pets 24/7, not every place is dog-friendly, which is why parents must leave them at home sometimes. Luckily, there are pet monitoring systems and cameras that allow owners to check in on their canine besties whenever they want.
These cameras give owners more than just a quick glimpse at their adorable fur babies. Owners can use the cameras to keep track of their dog's activities and monitor whether or not they get in trouble, cause destruction, or disturb the neighbors. The best part is that these pet cams can also save a dog's life.
The American Kennel Club reported that these cameras can give owners a look into a dog's medical condition, when and if any destructive behavior starts, and it helps owners figure out what might be bothering their dog while they're away. The cameras are a great addition to give owners peace of mind while they're away.
