Several times! I've never lost them on the way out, we've always been on the way home. That's a good thing since they will usually head for home. On the way out, I have no idea where they'd go. I didn't loose them last winter, but I walked home a couple times the year before. Sled dogs don't stop on command!

When I first started driving a dog team, a Quest musher told me that I couldn't call myself a musher until I'd walked home at least once without my team!
Poor you, that wouldn't be much fun but at least they head home!
