"...Red regularly unbolted his cage door and released his favourite canine companions for midnight feasts..." reports the BBC in several interesting articles regarding Red, a highly intelligent lurcher who caused chaos at Battersea Dogs Home in London, UK by releasing as many as 9 friends from their Kennels and then leading them to the kitchen for midnight feasts.
These little doggy adventures puzzled Battersea staff to the point that they asked The Accidental Film Company to help by installing a temporary CCTV system which recorded footage of Red regularly releasing first himself from his own cage and then his pal Lucky, followed by a few more "selected" favourite mates (friends) for sneaky extra meals.

From Battersea's news page: "...Red's adventures have now been restricted to daylight hours as his kennel is locked during the night. If you are looking to give a dog a home and think you could give Red the mental stimulation he needs, please call Battersea Dogs Home on ++44 (0) 20 7627 7889 ..." (Remebering of course that if you are calling/donating to Battersea Dogs Home from outside the UK that you will need to check your time difference via the excellent timeanddate.com).
Now if only we were living somewhere at the moment with a large garden :-(
