Hi Snorey
Welcome to the Forum.
What an interesting tale! I can only imagine how alarming that must have been in the middle of the night! I can’t really comment on the actual circumstances of the access to your house (not being familiar with it) but can say that some hogs are surprisingly good at climbing. Why it would have wanted to, is another matter! But some hogs do seem to like to keep us guessing. Climbing up the stairs sounds an easier option, other than the dogs, especially if it is carpeted. Any chance it could have got in whilst the dogs were out for a walk, or similar?
