Lawmaker Andrew Mackay discovered via his pet camera that his dogs had let farm animals into his Darwin home while he was out to dinner.
Security footage showed the dogs opening a sliding door, allowing a steer named Sue and a horse named Cricket inside.
The animals spent about 90 minutes indoors, knocking items off cabinets, scattering vegetable scraps, and even drinking from the fish tank. Mackay later shared the video on Facebook, joking that the animals had now experienced air conditioning and might try again. Fortunately, all pets were unharmed.
