When Carmen Estrada stepped into her backyard one morning, she expected the usual calm. Instead, she found something adorable and utterly bewildering: three puppies she didn’t own sitting in the yard like they’d always belonged.

In a video shared to her TikTok account @carmenestrada06, Estrada captured the hilarious and heartwarming moment in real time. “This morning was interesting!! 3 puppies appeared in my backyard! And no! They weren’t my Mother’s Day presents,” she wrote. Her reaction was filled with surprise, concern, and laughter as she tried to make sense of the scene.
“I woke up to a puppy inside that yard… What am I supposed to do, guys?” she said in the clip. Within seconds, two more pups came into view. “Oh my god, two puppies! Oh my god. Hi, babies.” Viewers watched as her confusion turned into wonder.
Unsure how the trio got in, Estrada suspected they may have slipped through a gap in the fence. She asked the pups, “What’s wrong? Where’s your mom?” while trying to keep them safe. “Is this my Mother’s Day present?” she joked as the backyard buzzed with unexpected puppy energy.

In a follow-up video, Estrada explained that the puppies eventually found their mother and managed to get out the same way they entered. Although initially intimidated by the adult dog, Estrada continued to offer food and water, even letting the mother eat first.
The mystery of how they got in was matched only by their strong desire to return home. At one point, Estrada followed the puppies after their mother took off with a chicken leg from the alley. The pups knew where they belonged, and sure enough, the family was reunited.

TikTok users flooded the comments with reactions ranging from envy to humor. “Happy Mother’s Day, you are now a mother of three more!” one joked. Another viewer wrote, “He was showing you the hole under the fence.” Others simply wished the “puppy distribution system” would surprise them next.
