Rescue Husky Breaks Out of Kennel, Sets Off Alarm and Tries to Free Friends Before Getting Busted

The canine was brought back to his bed by a Tempe, Arizona, police officer after making a mess at Lost Our Home Pet Rescue

A husky dog named King had a brief reign at an Arizona shelter after getting out of his kennel during the night.

The incident occurred at Lost Our Home Pet Rescue in Tempe. According to FOX 10, King escaped his kennel and turned the shelter into his playground, tripping a few alarms at the facility in the process.

"The alarm went off. It was like, you know, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock in the morning, and I immediately looked to see what was going on and couldn't find anything happening, and then I saw the mess, and I was like, oh my God," the shelter's founder, Jodi Polanski, told the outlet of her reaction upon seeing security camera footage from King's escape.

Lost Our Home Pet Rescue shared a compilation of security footage clips from King's great (and brief) escape on Facebook and YouTube. In it, King breaks out of his enclosure and attempts to free other dogs by opening several doors. In another clip, the clever pup finds a stash of dog food and enjoys a late-night snack, knocking food and other items in the shelter's office onto the floor.

King's rule over the shelter was short-lived. Since the dog's escape triggered alarms at the shelter, police were called to the location and busted the canine mid-jailbreak.

"The police actually came because he set the alarm off, and it kept going off over and over again," Polanski explained to Fox 10. An officer, who chose to remain anonymous, but was nicknamed "Mr. Clean" by the outlet, appears in the footage entering the rescue and petting a visibly excited King while taking notice of the mess the pooch made.

In the narration of the King's escape video, Lost Our Home Pet Rescue mentions the Tempe Police Department "has 24-hour access" to the shelter through a partnership that allows officers to bring in "pets in need" to the rescue.

The rest of the footage from the incident shows the responding officer putting King back to bed safely. Afterward, the officer retrieves a broom to sweep up and organize the chaos left behind by the mischievous dog.

"The Tempe Police Department is called to the scene for what can only be described as the cutest arrest ever! This dog had some amazing skills! And one of the coolest police officers ever that went above and beyond the call of duty cleaning up the mess the dog made," Lost Our Home Pet Rescue wrote on Facebook.
