Wow, thank you so much for sharing that story. I hadn't even known that happend, so I am glad you told us. And you are right about everything. Just the other day my mom's and sister's dog named Belle ran off on them. It only took a second of the dog out of my mom's sight and she started crying and screaming Belle's name.

What happened is that Belle was off leash and usually she is very good at coming when called, but mom didn't see the other little dog that was in our yard and Belle took off after that dog. I ran outside to help my mom because I know I am good at finding animals, specially in the woods (which is where Belle headed). And just as I was about to run to the woods I heard Belle's little collar tinging and she suddenly ran past me and right past my mother and up to the door of the house. She knew she had done something wrong.

I guess my point is that I agree with you. Dogs can take off suddenly and the worst thing to ever happen is your dog run away and you not able to find it. I am so so glad you were able to get Kiara back

It's a good lesson learned for everyone that reads this.
