Doberman Superpowers
A dark street. Two visitors at the front door. A family fast asleep. The men are certain they have chosen an empty house—but someone is already waiting on the other side of the door.
Doberman Superpowers is our 93-second fictional short film about an unlikely night shift. Watch it first, then discover the small detail that gives the whole adventure away the next morning.

The story: one door, one surprise
The opening line is confidently simple: “Looks empty. Nobody’s home.” Inside, the daughter and her parents sleep peacefully. In the hallway, their black Doberman stands still and listens.
When the door opens, a muddy boot crosses the threshold. The men look up, see who is waiting and reconsider their plan. One short “Nope.” says everything. They close the door carefully, then hurry away into the night.
Morning brings breakfast, sunlight and a yellow toy duck. The Doberman is busy playing while the family carries on with its ordinary routine. Then the daughter notices the muddy shoeprints in the hallway. Her puzzled expression gives us the final clue: the family has no idea what happened while they slept.
The quiet hero—and the toy duck
The humour comes from the change in perspective. To the two unwelcome visitors, the dog is a very good reason to leave. To his family, he is the familiar companion lying beside the breakfast table with his favourite toy.
We wanted both moments in the same story. The slow closing of the door gives the scene its comic timing; the muddy footprints connect the tense night to the peaceful morning. The small yellow duck finishes the portrait of our fictional hero.

This is an imagined story, not a prediction of how an individual dog would react to an intruder. In everyday life, put the focus on a comfortable home, patient handling and clear routines.
