We’re all leading busy lives which demand our complete attention for 8, 10 and even more hours a day with a minimum of 5 days/week. While humans are coping with this situation as best they can, the same needn’t be true for their best friend – the dog.

Dogs can be whimsical companions – with some of them you never know what shenanigans they’re going to get up to next. The internet is full of videos featuring half-eaten dinners, chewed-up living room furniture and the deceptively innocent stares of the canine perpetrators of these avoidable crimes.

You wouldn’t believe it based solely on a dog’s propensity for splashing around in the mud and rain, but they actually do like to keep a pretty tidy home. Natural instincts and training even more so make a dog extremely hesitant to perform bodily functions inside the crate they sleep in.
