Dogs are often called "man's best friend." But for this clever German shepherd named Twitch, it looks like his little friend Sophie may have taken that spot.

When Sophie gets locked away in her crate, Twitch bides his time, waiting for his chance.

Wait for it ...

GO!

... Hurry, before she gets back ...

SWEET FREEDOM!

Twitch may have a point - according to the ASPCA, crates can be very useful, but dogs shouldn't be crated for long periods of time:
They're best used as a relatively short-term management tool, not as a lifetime pattern of housing. Your goal should be to work on any behavior problems and train your dog so that it's not necessary to crate her 8 to 10 hours every weekday throughout her life.
