Yet more proof that dogs are rad

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up and see the amazing, the spectacular, the bewildering ... Hound-dini!

Yes, that's right. Step closer; Bandit the doggie won't bite. In fact, the only thing on its mind is escape from the confines of this prison-like kitchen.
