A hilarious video has emerged capturing the moment when a foster dog overestimates his tree climbing skills and makes for this adorable doggy fail video.Show more

Meet Eric, the one-year-old Husky/Lab dog who thinks he is a monkey and likes to climb trees in this free time. Unfortunately, he is not very skilled and accidentally slipped and fell from the tree. Luckily, he was not hurt and is now enjoying the good life with his new adopted family!

We are used to seeing cats climb up trees, but seeing a dog climb up a tree may seem quite close to impossible. This dog owner can attest that his talented dog can effectively <a href="https://rumble.com/v32xay-clever-dog-climbing-up-a-tree-for-the-ball.html" target="_blank">climb up a tree</a> and stay on it for a while, before ending in epic fail!

Some dogs decide to climb trees if they are chasing a squirrel or if they try to jump over a yard fence, and use the tree as a support. A dog owner was left stunned when he saw his adopted dog become confused chasing a cat and mistakenly run up a tree in his backyard.

After this canine discovered his unusual skill, he is now constantly scampering up trees, flaunting his talent. Sometimes, though, he slips and fails, but that doesn’t stop him from climbing up again!

While cats have sharp claws, agile bodies and very mobile shoulders and hip joints which facilitates them in being proficient climbers, dogs’ body is built for plains. They do not have retractable claws, nor are their bodies built for being <a href="https://rumble.com/v33jpy-climbing-dog.html" target="_blank">proficient climbers</a> as the cat. Their ancestors were social hunters with bodies built more for long-distance endurance running on open fields rather than short, bursts of speed.
