Can dogs use elevators?

I'm playing a household with a nice malamute and moved them into a small apartment. The move went well, and the dog had no problem accessing the apartment. However, after they went out to the dog park the next day, I could not get the dog back up the elevator, no how no way. The human sims could go up, but I noticed they were often outside the building off doing something else, too, rather than going home as directed. I almost never play apartments with or without elevators and don't remember if I ever tried to have a dog in one in the past. Not sure if it's this building or if dogs and elevators just don't work out well in general? Anyone know?

I found my household a small house they could afford, so things are OK for the moment, but where I ultimately wanted them to live does have an elevator, so am wondering if there's a point to trying it or if I should just give up on the idea.
