   One of my best friends has a sister to lives in London. They never had a   
   crate until they got a new dog from Scotland, and since their other dog   
   was 15, they somewhat reluctantly followed my friend's advice. They are   
   so very glad they did, they love the crate, the dog loves the crate, and   
   it just makes for a much happier and easier life for dog and humans.   
      
   See over here, we are pretty darn horrified at the common practice of   
   shutting dogs into the boot to travel as is done in the U.K. So   
   different strokes for different folks and all, but we would never close   
   a dog in what we call the car trunk.
