We have a small gap between the sliding back door and the deck. Small enough that kids can't fall through (Emerie is finally convinced that she doesn't fit down the crack. Before we had to lift her from the porch to the house because she was afraid of it) but the crack is just big enough for small toys like "Pascal" and Kitty fall through just fine if they get dropped on the crack.
The day that Madison got Pascal he accidentally got dropped in the crack when they were playing outside. Instantly Madison teared up thinking he was lost for good. I let her know that when daddy got home from work he would be happy to rescue her fallen friend. So after dinner Jake changed his clothes, got out his tools and took the fence off the deck. He then proceeded to army crawl across the muddy floor with the unknown of what lived under our deck. He risked encounters with critters, spiders, and creepy crawlies to rescue Madison's little friends.
