Poor Otto, glad he's OK. Think he's a GSP though isn't he.... :D :D they have a talent for mischief. It must have scared the living daylights out of you.

On the subject of window stories....I have heard before of a lady with a GSD she had just rehomed - dog was shut in bedroom, but window was ajar. Fireworks started going off, dog panicked, leapt out of window, survived fall OK but was panicking so much just kept on running... into middle of a busy road. :( :(
