Sometimes we need a bit of creativity, right? You don’t want to miss out on an exciting trip or a wonderful outing just because you forgot something!
Emilee Hassanzadeh from New York City perfectly embodies this philosophy, and her recent “brilliant” idea has taken the internet by storm!
While on a trip to Minnesota with her beloved dog Wendell, Emilee realized she had forgotten something crucial – a leash! But instead of panicking, her creativity sparked a moment of hilarity that turned into a viral video.
Let’s dive in!
Is That What I Think It Is?

On her way to visit family in Minnesota, Emilee made a quick stop to meet her sister. After their reunion, the next destination was Starbucks for a delicious pup cup for Wendell!
However, there was a slight hiccup: Emilee realized she had forgotten the leash. Though her sister suggested leaving Wendell at home, Emilee opted for a creative solution.

The pair almost gave up since they couldn’t find anything to use as a temporary leash. But then, Emilee spotted it – an extension cord with her sister’s phone and laptop plugged in. She thought, “Why not?” and what seemed like an unconventional idea turned into a reality.

They arrived at Starbucks with Wendell comfortably lying in his harness – “leashed” by the amusing extension cord. Emilee found it so entertaining that she recorded a video and posted it on TikTok, unknowingly sparking a viral sensation!
“Walking my dog to Starbucks on an extension cord because my sister didn’t have a leash at her house,” the video description read.
Comments began flooding in from users worldwide, sharing their own amusing pet stories.
“I’ve used an iPhone charger for my mini dachshund,” one commenter shared.
“I had to use a tube sock and walk really low to one side,” another remarked.
“One time I couldn’t find the leash because my boyfriend lost it, so I used a sewing measuring tape lol!” another commenter added.
A Fashionable Companion

In addition to being resourcefully creative when needed, Emilee and Wendell enjoy a wonderful life together full of exciting adventures.
Residing in New York City, Wendell experiences firsthand what it’s like to be a fashion model, with Emilee ensuring he wears adorable outfits for their strolls or pup cup outings.
Undeniably, Wendell always captures people’s attention!
When not dressed to impress, they enjoy a cozy life filled with cuddles, naps, and delightful indoor activities – a complete package, indeed!
