I know all about dogs getting out ....

These little guys are my dads Beagles - Mike and his sister Blue.


One day last year, my dad had just got home from the cottage and was in the process of unpacking the truck. Unfortunately, he hadn't latched the gate 100%, and Mike managed to pull through a teeny gap and run down the drive. Mike managed to time it perfectly, and ran right out into the road in front of a lady that didn't have time to stop.

He suffered nerve damage in his front leg -- and after all kinds of differnet treatments over a month and a half (with no change), they had to amputate. Hes still a happy little tripod dog, but I know my dad still feels horribly guilty about the whole thing.
