A woman’s excitement over her new home quickly turned sour after a sudden accident.
In a TikTok video, the woman took a clip of her Labrador retriever, Bear, unexpectedly breaking a glass window at his height within moments of their arrival. The viral footage, receiving over 780,000 likes, captured the immediate aftermath of the incident, leaving viewers stunned and concerned.
The video opens with the woman’s excited voice as she steps into the new house: “Yay, we got a new house,” she said. But her joyful tone shifts to panic seconds later. “My dog just ran straight into the glass window and has smashed it … oh my God, I literally don’t know what to do.”
The incident prompted an outpouring of concern and advice from TikTok users regarding the type of glass in the window. Many commenters wrote that the glass appeared to be unusually fragile for a ground-level or door-adjacent pane.
One user posted: “I work for a window company and that is actually against code! Glass that is floor level or beside a door needs to be tempered and definitely shouldn’t have broken like that. I’d inquire about all of the glass if I were you.”
“Wait, is that single pane glass?” another person wrote. “I haven’t seen that in houses since I was a child. Do you guys not do triple glazing there?”
The safety implications were a major concern for others: “Seriously, that was NOT the right glass in that window! I’m so glad your dog or potentially a child wasn’t hurt! no security and unsafe!”
Thankfully, an update video provided good news about Bear’s well-being.

“Basically, my dog went headfirst straight through a window in our new house,” she said. “As you can see, he’s got a head of a bull. He’s absolutely fine, his head was fine, he didn’t have any injuries … and his paws are absolutely fine, thankfully no glass or anything under there as well.”
The owner added: “So, really pleased that he was left unharmed, just a little bit shaken up—but he’s being his absolute self today.”
She said that the broken glass has since been replaced: “We’ve put in safety glass that looks exactly the same, but obviously it’s thicker,” the owner added. While the new safety glass provides a much-needed upgrade, she said, she also hopes that Bear learned his lesson—and catches on to the doggy door method instead.
