Remembering that, as soon as I can after housebreaking, I let my dogs free in the house so there might be a better chance they might can run and stay away from the worst part of fire/smoke until maybe the fire department gets here or a neighbor breaks a window or kicks in the door and maybe, maybe get the dog out or the dog make his escape sooner than if the good Samaritan has to go through the house searching for the part where the dog was confined. Most non-firemen just won't go far into a home to look for even children let alone pets in a smokey fire. I live in a single story house so my bedroom and all rooms are equally at risk of a burglar. |
Yes this is what I think about... How devastating it would be to have a fire or something in the house and Jax being locked up and not able to get far away from it.
. Also, as far as burglary goes, Jackson will not let anyone near him, he would go run under my bed (as he's done when strangers to him have come in our house before when I'm not home). One time my grandma stopped in who he loves and she tried to pick him up which he doesn't like so he ran and hid under the bed until I got home. He will alert bark very loudly though but the moment someone comes in or tries to approach him he will hide. If he were confined to a crate someone would be able to grab him against his will.
