Dubi rules over a quiet neighborhood in West Greeley, Colorado. Or maybe it’s a quiet neighborhood because Dubi is the Neighborhood Watch from his owner’s roof top.
Owner J.D. Picket got Dubi from the Humane Society as a puppy. He is part black Lab, part Boxer and part mountain goat.
When Dubi was a puppy he jumped up on the patio roof one winter when the snow was deep and Picket had to keep helping him down.
As Dubi grew, he continued to climb up on the patio roof and learned to jump the four feet up to the roof of the house. Worried that Dubi would fall off the roof, Pickett tried several ways to discourage him, including installing chicken wire on the back of the roof.
But as most of us have learned, when a dog like Dubi is determined to follow his destiny, there is little humans can do to stop him. Finally Dubi won, determined to mount his aerie to watch over the neighborhood.
At first neighbors would ask if they knew there was a dog on the roof. Now people stop by to take pictures. Source

That's a dog with no vertigo problems! I saw a picture of another dog like that on the Draw A Dog site. They cartoonised it as well :)

Very funny! I grew up near Greeley (in Windsor, CO) and lived in Greeley for a year.

A perching pooch. That is so funny. Usually one sees cats on a roof, but dogs... not so much.

That's so funny. I actually had a client who was a roofer and his dog learned to climb a ladder on his own. He would climb the ladder and sit on roof with the workers. I think there is a video someone on the web of it.

I just came back to check it YOUR dog was photoshopped. Though of course, there really are dogs on roofs and I WASNT TRICKED. Just in case I was :p

Oh, I'm so glad my dogs haven't thought of this yet.

All I can say is... wroof guard! I know, that was corny, but can you blame me? Anyway, the question of whether it was photoshopped or not has forgotten an important question to ask first... Was there any possible way for that dog to go up that roof? You know, could there be some ledges that the dog can climb to get to the roof?

LOL. That's really cool. I think that dog has a fascination with the roof. Couldn't blame him, when I was I kid I like climbing on our roof and staying there just watching the sunset. One thing is sure, that's one brave pooch, haha.

Your dog seems to be enjoying its task! Haha! He looks so alert and omnipotent while sitting on your roof! If I'd be your neighbor, I'd be taking pictures of it, too, 'coz it's kinda rare to find animals on the roof, especially a huge dog like that!

That's hilarious. I would definitely stop to take an extra look, if not a picture if I drove by this house and daw Dubi on the roof.
