ROFL! Are you sure he's not a husky? I used to frequently come home to find Muskwa on the front deck when he had been in the back pen when I left for work! Once when we lived in the city, he climbed the fence and went on the roof of the neighbor's shed--neighbors who hated us! I could give you endless examples of the husky stubborn streak, but you seem to be finding your own houndy examples!
