#1 Red arrived at Battersea in June in an emaciated state which, staff believe, is the reason for his urge to seek out food.

Yeah, tough to see how Red outsmarted these folks...

#4 I expect they put a combination lock on it. You know, just to give Red a sporting chance.

He'll be out in no time, anyway. And a lot of his mates, too, I shouldn't wonder. Just in time for Christmas...

#6 Honestly, I once had a dog that could open doors by turning the knob. She even had two ways of doing it -- I caught her standing on two legs with her forelegs on the knob, and once when staying at my sister's place, she wanted to get outside so badly she left tooth marks on the door knob.

I posted her picture here a couple of days ago. She was one hell of a dog.

#12 The first Champion English Cocker I bred could open spring-loaded latches from inside his run, with his teeth and paws.

He also figured out how to push a chair up to the fridge, jump up, and dispense ice cubes for himself and the other dogs.

He was known to sit quietly while my husband or I was working on our PCs and then push the CD eject button with his nose, just to see the tray pop out. Once when he really wanted attention he hit the power button instead -- and my husband had not saved his intricate spreadsheet model for an hour or so ....

He also pushed the ON button on our stereo, until I cued up some Stravinsky and cranked the volume knob way up.

I miss that boy ....

The other pix of Red from the website

Fred... If we can make Red the official
"Dauggey" you will probably have to save these two pix's in your image file. Someone will adopt this fellow quick, so the page will go away...
