Lol, this is what our Aussie dog Ryder does. He sits in the dog door, tail end in the house, front end outdoors. None of the other animals can get in or out unless he gives them a pass.

This is not an urban legend. From the time I was 6 until I was 16 my twin brother and I and all the neighborhood kids that cared to join us were running around outside after school or all summer (two different neighborhoods), barefoot and shaggy or on our bikes, running rampant through the neighborhood, playing chicken, playing ball, climbing trees, up to all sorts of (mostly) harmless shenanigans, until I turned into a girl and my brother divorced me. Then I had to sit on the porch and write poetry and teach myself to play the guitar until mom came home from work. Yes, we grew up mostly unattended except perhaps by older siblings who really didn't give a rip what we did. It was great.
 
20" bikes with banana seats, suicide bars and high rise handles took us miles away, as long as we returned in time to get inside when the street lights came on.
Ditches to play in, ponds to call up alligators, swim out to barges in the Mississippi, oak trees to build houses in, all in a day's play. Why did we ever grow up?
