Couple seen accidentally locking themselves in dog crates in viral video

STOCKTON, Calif. -- A couple from Northern California learned the hard way that if you are going to test out dog crates, only one person needs to do the testing.

In the viral video, the man goes towards the crate and gets in. His partner then gets into the crate next to him and closes the door behind her.

After a few seconds, the couple realizes they are both locked in the crates.

They were eventually able to free themselves by maneuvering the crates in front of one another and opening them up.

The couple said that if they had not been able to free themselves, they would have had to "ask Alexa" to call their neighbors to come and free them.
