Animals Get Out To Raid Kitchen

LONDON -- A dog outsmarted staff at a shelter in London by breaking out of his kennel on a nightly basis to raid the kitchen.
The lurcher, called Red, unbolted his door before releasing his favorite canine companions.
Mystified staff at the animal shelter arrived in the morning to discover the dogs running amok through the center.

The reason for the breakouts only came to light after video surveillance was installed to catch the culprit.
The footage revealed Red escaping and then pushing back the bolts on the other dogs' kennels to free them, too.
Red arrived at Battersea Dogs' Home in June in an emaciated state which, staff believe, is the reason for his urge to seek out food every night.
His kennel has now been made more secure to stop him from escaping at night.
