At one point he crawled into an empty crate that was under our canopy and fell asleep. We all thought that it was so cute so just let him stay there for a nap....he was never left alone....we were always sitting right there. Then all of a sudden the police showed up at our set up. They had a complaint from a member of the public saying that some dog people at the park had locked a child in a crate and felt it was cruel. So the cops had to follow up and because it was a complaint that accused the mother of something like "child abuse" and they would in turn have to report it to Child Welfare who would also follow up on the complaint. And yep, a few days later my friend who was the mother received a call from Child Welfare. When they followed up and got the whole story nothing came of it, but if you do this be aware that someone may report you to the authorities. This just happened to my daughter I had a puppy here and he was laying in the crate so my grandson who was 18 mo at the time crawled in the crate pulled the door shut and was laughing at the puppy kissing him I thought nothing of it and snapped a photo as it was a cute picture well so I thought. CPS showed up at my daughters house this morning asking about the photo that was posted on her Myspace someone seen it and reported it. So an innocent moment and photo ( so I thought) got her in trouble and being an Army wife she got the double whammy.
