Benchmstr,
I used to have a 45 pound female, red nosed pit bull. She could get out over the top of my 6 foot fence if she wanted. She did it once just after I finished building the fence. I let her know that she was not to climb out over the fence and she never did it again. But clearing something like the barrier between your kitchen and the rest of the house would have been an easy hop for her. RIP, Stella. She was a good dog, except for her thing with cats.
