Dog, who has probably never seen stairs, decides a leap of faith is the best course of action

Some dogs just are not into the idea of stairs

Dogs are creatures of habit, but you also never really know what they may do.

They could end up taking a huge leap off a flight of stairs like this poor husky, who has probably never seen a set of them before. This brave pup was just exploring its new house and came upon the common design feature and acted in the way it knew how.

We're hoping it landed OK, but we know this good dog is fine.

Basically, expect the unexpected when it comes to dogs, and try not to live in a place with stairs.
