I think it takes a big person to say that's my dog. I did not see the
incident---it was my dog that escaped his crate, and opened the hotel door and
was having a great time exploring the 7th floor of the hotel.
Hopefully you will figure out what was going on and he will be a perfect
gentleman next time!
