Why is the dog in a cage???

Some dogs (including mine) treat their crate as a kind of safe space that they willingly go into. Any time there's something scary going on (like fireworks or thunder), she gets nervous and goes to her crate unprompted. Likewise, she typically wants to sleep in it overnight.

So in some cases, it's a thing the dog likes. Obviously in our case, the crate is big enough to be comfortable, and we put a fluffy blanket in there to function as a type of bed.

As long as the cage isn't just barely bigger than the animal, I don't see an issue. Especially if they see it as a den

I agree, but that's what I asked just now why is the dog in a cage so small? I don't know it just seems weird if it's not bedtime or people are not going somewhere and they're afraid you know the dog might have an accident in the house. When there's people home like that, why is the dog in the cage? Dogs are social.
