Dr Jeckal and Mr "Jake" Hyde

There aren't many competitions I think our dog "Jake" could win - but this might be the one.
We adopted Jake at age 7 and within his first month with us, he ate the seatbelts out of 2 vehicles. Since then he has distroyed several solid wood doors, torn apart window screens and venician blinds and broken a 6 foot picture window. He has opened and emptied the fridge (you can imagine the result), chewed through childproof locks and emptied the kitchen cupboards. Most frighteningly he has figured out how to turn on the stove. Having pulled the cereal boxes out of the cupboard above, he turned on the stove and we arrived home to a smoldering box of cherios.
In an effort to prevent further damage to the house, before leave for work in the morning we: give jake his prescribed sedative, screw every cupboard in the kitchen shut, remove the fuses from the stove, lock the plexiglass-covered doors, lock the frige closed, and of course put on an especially purchased CD of dog-calming music.
We love Jake dearly. He is affectionate and generally obedient, but he is definately the naughtiest dog I have ever known, and just maybe, the naughtiest dog in Canada.
