COMING home from work is always a happy feeling, but this woman’s commute home was made even better when she pulled into her driveway to find her neighbour’s dog hitching a ride on her pony.

Callie Schenker, a 22-year-old woman from Missouri, came home to find a peculiar lump sitting on top of her horse, Cricket.

When she went in for a closer look, she realised the object was actually her neighbour’s corgi.

As reported by the Springfield News-Leader, Callie immediately knew she’d have to get some video proof if anyone was going to believe her.

The 22-year-old took a 15-second video of the two animal friends standing next to the fence before Cricket trotted off into the darkness, still with the neighbour’s corgi happily balancing on top.

Callie then posted the video on Facebook with the message, “I can’t make this stuff up!!! So we pull back in our driveway tonight and this is what we see.

“This is not our dog! But apparently him and Cricket the one-eyed wonder pony are best friends. I’m stealing the dog, new circus act!”

Cricket lost his eye a long time ago in an incident that had nothing to do with the corgi.

Since being posted on February 2, the video has gone viral, racking up more than 5.7 million views in less than a week.

Callie said the corgi’s owners are Mennonites, a Christian group who avoid going online, so she said they probably have no idea their dog is internet famous.
