THE PARENTS WERE SHOCKED BY THEIR CHILD'S ACTIONS
The Arizona couple heard their little girl, Chloe, over the baby monitor and went to investigate. Mom Nina was caught off-guard when she saw her child running around in the hallway. She expected to find the youngster in her room.
Chris shared: "We were shocked! How was she able to get out of bed?" The couple couldn't believe Chloe managed to climb out of her bed.
The father continued:
"This is the first time she's ever made an escape like this. Did she grow?"

THE BABY GIRL HAD TWO SIDEKICKS TO HELP HER
The parents were particularly confused because various factors were intended to keep Chloe inside her bed and her room. A mesh structure guarded the youngster's bed, and she was not tall enough to reach the bedroom doorknob.
Thanks to the baby monitor, the perplexed duo had a way to see how their baby girl achieved the impressive feat. Their Nest camera quickly explained Chloe's overnight upskill—she had help from two unexpected sidekicks, Colby and Bleu.

THE DOGS TRIED TO GET THE YOUNGSTER'S ATTENTION
The family's golden retrievers helped Chloe accomplish an escape her parents never saw coming. The video footage revealed Colby and Bleu opening the bedroom door and visiting the youngster at around 6 a.m.
They proceeded to jump on Chloe's bed before running in and out of the room repeatedly. As the playful dogs sniffed, licked, nudged, and made a scene, they eventually caught the little girl's attention.
One of the pups stole her toy duck and continued pestering her until they got the desired response. It was evident that Chloe was delighted by her furry best friends and interested in where they were going.

THE LITTLE GIRL FOLLOWED THE DOGS OUT OF THE ROOM
The little girl eventually climbed out of bed and excitedly followed Colby and Bleu into the hallway. The youngster might not have been tall enough to reach the room's doorknob, but she was able to get to the dogs' kibble bin.
On their YouTube channel, the couple revealed:
"Lately [Chloe's] been dropping food for them from their bin, so they figured she must be good to help feed them breakfast."
The baffled dad expressed: "I knew we had to childproof our house. Guess we'll have to dog-proof it too!" The video gained millions of views, and the comment section offered many different opinions.
