How did you get him into that crate?
 
With a shoe horn???[]

All dogs are great in their own way I think.
But to me the Ultimate Dog....is one that can find a job to pay the bills...I'm still trying to teach Gobi to do the dishes and other household chores, he can pick up rabbit poop like a champ though.
Just injecting a little humor here.
