My boyhood dog, Laddie, male Collie.. super intelligent, would spend the entire day with
my brothers and me hiking, fishing, whatever. His dog house was next to a big tree, so my dad anchored his chain to the tree where he could easily get in and out of his house.
A tornado came through and took the tree, roots and all, with dog attached and threw it into the neighbor's garage. Laddie survived with just a few cuts, but after that even a small rain storm would have him whining to get into the house, don't blame him!
