Sometimes, even a job done well is a failure. In a video posted in July 2014 by YouTube user rgraves62002, a man appears to be admiring the result of a day's work in his backyard.
“Yep, just completed fixing this fence,” the man says as his camera sweeps back and forth. “Pretty proud of it, I'd have to say. Try to keep Stella in the yard.”
At this point, a large dog — presumably Stella — bounds into view, runs to one end of the fence and jumps right over it, almost without effort. There is a perfectly timed comedic pause, then the man says, “Dammit.”
In the comments section of the video, the original poster explains why he thought the fence would be high enough to contain Stella: “Before I made the fence, I had Stella jump a baby gate inside and when she stopped jumping it I added six inches (15.2 centimeters).” In a classic ‘blame the dog' moment he adds, “She set me up!”
What did the man eventually do with the useless fence? Another comment from rgraves62002 says it is now serving as “a treehouse with a zip-line for my grandson!”

He threw something over the fence and the dog went chasing it. You can see the camera shake right before the dog goes after it. He tried to make a funny video… next time.

One of my dogs – a Shepherd mix – was often escaping from the yard and I couldn’t figure out hoe. One day he was picked up by the dogcatcher and brought home. I showed the man my yard and he decided that my 4 foot fence was not tall enough to stop the dog. I paid over $1,000 to get a 6 foot stretch of fence put in. Riley never escaped after that.
