An owner who tried to separate her dogs to give them a break discovered through the nanny camera that they had other plans.
Erika McGrattan went to her boyfriend's house for a quick visit, leaving her two boxer dogs at home for about an hour. Normally, she lets the dogs have free range of the house, but because her female, Bailey, was going through heat—a normal part of a female dog's fertility cycle when they are not spayed—and they have been actively trying to breed all day, McGratten wanted to give her a break.
She put Rex in the doggy kennel. She latched the kennel, and for added security, McGratten placed a stool and chair in front to keep him from escaping, as Rex is usually the troublemaker of her two dogs, McGratten told Newsweek.
But when she pulled out her phone to check in on her dogs, she found Bailey at Rex's kennel, helping him break free. And once he was out, the two went back to breeding.
Her July 15 Instagram video, posted on her account @ showed what her nanny camera captured, but she cut it off right before the R-rated part began. The two dogs stayed perfectly in the camera's frame as Rex came to Bailey, who wore puppy panties, and began slowly moving it off with his paws.

Stunned at what she was witnessing, McGratten said she joked with her boyfriend that she had "dog porn" on her phone.
"We just broke down laughing so hard," she said. "I didn't expect it to be that hilarious."
She said these dogs are "obsessed" with each other, even when Bailey's not in heat. They sleep together, kiss each other and run over to comfort the other when one is crying. So she wasn't too surprised when Bailey broke Rex out.
"She's quite silly and adamant when her mind is to something," McGratten said. "She rules the roost over here."
McGratten assumes this recent incident caused Bailey to become pregnant, but she said it is too early to know for certain. Although Bailey has been showing signs, which McGratten picked up on as her two dogs have bred puppies before.
She said about a year and a half ago, they had nine puppies. The pups were adopted to people who all previously owned boxers before. An accidental litter of two occurred in the middle of her moving, but the pups turned out all physically strong and McGratten was able to find them homes as well.

The Instagram video quickly became a viral hit, reaching over 16.7 million views and 484,000 likes, shocking viewers about how the great escape turned into something more.
"This should be on ONLYPAWS can't be sharing free content like that," joked a viewer.
Another added: "I seen enough they need to pay some bills."
A third person commented: "My jaw dropped when the panty went to sliding."
