Phred's story reminds me of something that my sister-in-law's german shepherd did once. Like all dogs she just loves to try and get in a quick lick of the dishes in the dishwasher when the humans aren't looking. Well she was having a grand ole time licking away on a plate when her collar got stuck on one of the prongs inside the dishwasher. As she tried to back away the ENTIRE rack came with her. She dragged the whole thing into the family room and was totally freaked! Here is a 80+ pound GSD with a dishwasher rack hanging onto her collar in the family room. Unfortunately no one thought to get the camera!
