A 7-year-old boy and a dog versus A freshly cleaned glass door was caught on camera


Table of Contents

When a child and a dog run into the polished glass door, you know you did a good job cleaning.

Mom Jessica Rennard, 36, who lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has recently shared CCTV footage showing the moment her 7-year-old son Mason and border collie went flying into their front door.

The text layered over the hilarious footage explains Rennard's boyfriend had made the glass door "TOO CLEAN."

Rennard, a chief merchandizing officer told Newsweek: "After we made sure Mason and Badger were OK—we realized that there was security footage to watch.

"We all sat down and watched it together and we all laughed including Mason.

"He still laughs at himself every time we watch it back."

Prior to the incident, Rennard's partner had just scrubbed the door with glass cleaner to ensure it was sparkling. It was so clean, Mason didn't even notice it was shut and Badger, their dog, made the same mistake.

"No one was injured," said Rennard.

Homes can often be the scene of childhood accidents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states the leading causes of unintentional injury to a child include motor vehicle crashes, suffocation, drowning, poisoning, fires and falls... including from a window.

Safe Kids Worldwide, a nonprofit organization, has provided the following tips to keep children safe around windows:

  • Install an approved window screen guard properly to prevent unintentional window falls. Include an emergency release device for windows above the first floor in case of fire.
  • Keep windows locked and closed when they are not being used.
  • Never move a child who appears to be injured after falling—always immediately call 911.
  • Install active barriers, such as window stops, to limit the opening of windows to 4 inches.
  • Install window guards that can be easily opened by adults and older children in an emergency. Incorporate this into your family's fire escape plan and practice it on a regular basis.
  • Move chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows to help prevent window falls if your child crawls or climbs.

So far, the comical clip is yet to go viral; it has more than 1,000 views and 55 likes.

One user said: "What hurts? My feelings."

Newsweek has published several articles containing surveillance footage of unusual guests paying unexpected visits to people's homes and gardens. This includes a man who went face to face with a bear cub in his backyard and a cat trying to escape a wild boar.
