The dog lives by prisoner of war rules. He's in a struggle with his captors and it's perfectly allowable to sneak, steal, sabotage, and try to escape at any time.

This morning I caught him following the example of The Great Escape and tunneling his way to freedom, so I threw some bricks in the hole to stop him.

Tonight I got a message from the neighbour (thanks Matt!) that's he's on the loose again. Apparently a determined beagle can tunnel through bricks, under a fence, and therefore make his getaway. #Dogstodon #GreatEscape

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the Great Escape WWII March 24th 1944.
One of the most audacious projects carried out during WW2 occurred. It was the mass escape of Allied soldiers from the German prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III, the story of which was forever immortalised in the 1963 film The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen. #ww2 #greatescape

@craiggrannell I always wanted more Skooldaze type games, and never really twigged the Escape is just like it, but with a different scenario. I've been looking for something to play, so thanks for the reminder of this great game. #ZXSpectrum #GreatEscape
