The important part of the article is that the dog is fine and pictured on the ground. Apparently that dog and one other are local canines that frequently climb up and down the pyramid for fun and exercise. Now I’m reassured.
Dogs. Who knows what goes on in their dog-minds! But...the Pyramids are nothing to sneeze at.
When I was in the Navy, we made a port call to Alexandria, Egypt, and they had tours out to the Pyramids.
This was back in a time when you were allowed to climb on them, and many sailors did. The blocks at the bottom were larger, IIRC you had to hoist yourself up on the first few, but after that, you could kind of climb them.
The problem was, as you went further up, the stones became progressively rounded and crumbly, with grit and sand on them.
I got a few levels up, and in a flash of realization, understood that if I slipped, I was going to go all the way down the side of that pyramid and get killed, if not badly hurt. I gingerly climbed down, and that was that.
I have heard that a tourist was killed in just this fashion some years ago, and they banned climbing it after that on the basis that they were precious antiquities.

“A dog climbed all the way up the Great Pyramid of Giza!”
with the public dubbing the hound “Anubis Pup.”
A 'new biz' pup.
“We live in an era where the extraordinary is within reach, more than ever before, so why not chase the life of our dreams!?
Dog thinks; “Now, who was it, that told me there were girls living in a little house at the top?”
Wild dog. They are hunted in Egypt. Never saw them in Cairo but mostly in the Western desert.
😂
I noticed there is a big hole at the top of the pyramid.
I wonder if it is a big ol chimney...
How many dogs have fallen in over the centuries?...
