Cut an opening under one of these at one end of the box. It should be shaped like the door of a dog kennel.
Where is a large flat box cover? It is to be the roof. It ought to be about four inches wider than the width of your first box. (For making the kennel roof, see [Diagram Three, E], page 171.)
Fold this cover downward in equal halves to make a slanting roof, and place it over the points of the dog kennel that come front and back of the little building. There is the kennel all finished! Whistle to Fido! Come here, Fido, to see the nice kennel made for you. Don’t you think that it would be fun some day to make a smaller one for the little china dog?
Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone!
Oh, he hasn’t gone far, for you see
I built him a kennel from out of a box,
And now he stays home here with me!

box-cover roof in place.
