Puppy Staging A Jailbreak For His Friends Next Door Caught In Action
Crackers is the kind of puppy who does not seem to understand the word impossible. In this story, he is caught in the middle of a tiny neighborhood mission that looks more like a jailbreak than a game.
He is loyal, determined, and very focused on helping the friends next door, even if that means getting a little sneaky about it. The whole thing is equal parts adorable and chaotic, and it only gets better once you see what he is trying to do.
Crackers was not about to leave his friends behind.

Crackers lives in close proximity to his three friends, and he hangs out with them for most of the day. He is a mix of Labrador and St. Bernard and is only 5 months old.
Crackers’ dad, Jessie Matney, shared with The Dodo that, “He’s very energetic and persistent. He doesn't take ‘No’ for an answer when he wants to play.”
Mr. Matney's sister lives next door to him, and their yards are separated by just a picket fence. Her dogs are Crackers' best friends. He is very happy living next to them, and they enjoy going out on their walks, mostly at night.
It’s a lot like the owner who found her apartment ransacked after her dog’s clever escape.

The other day, they witnessed the cutest thing as Crackers was trying to stage a jailbreak.
“My sister’s retriever/Pyrenees mix, Budders, who is also the one Crackers likes the most, had pushed the picket loose at the top,” Matney said. “When I walked out, Crackers was finishing the job, pulling it the rest of the way down. Then the other three dogs tried to squeeze through at the same time, like the Three Stooges.”
Cute culprits caught in action
As Crackers' dad, Mr. Matney, shared, this was one of the many times he has tried to get his friends through the fence, and it is a delight to watch him do so every single time.

Mr. Matney remarked that he is so used to this routine that he makes sure to keep a few extra pickets at home instead of going to the hardware store every time they do this.
He further shared that Crackers will keep trying to find ways to spend more time with his friends as long as they are living close by.
