Will my dog find her way home?

1 Answer

Answer :

Ask around and get everyone to keep an eye out for your dog. I hope she comes back soon. I’d be sick if my dog ran off. Fortunately, she is very well trained not to leave the yard, but all it takes is one crazy squirrel to lead her off. We had a cat get out in a snowstorm and come back after three days, so there’s hope for your dog.
