Many years ago we got a new dog (shepherd/mutt puppy from the pound) for our young son. I pulled into the driveway one afternoon and noticed something hanging from my boat trailer. Dog had chewed the wires on both sides. Rewired the trailer. One day the next week I got home from work and saw the same thing.
Was ready to kick the **** out of the dog but hey, the empty plastic garbage can was sitting there so I kicked it instead. Turned out the heavy recycle basket was in the bottom so I broke a couple of toes.
Kept the dog though and she turned out to be a pretty good friend.
