Wow! I'm sorry you had such an aweful day! I would have had a heart attack seeing that van coming! I'm so glad he's okay!

Lacy always goes outside on a leash, but there have been a few times that she's gotten away from me (came out of her harness once when she was like 6 months old, leash broke once, and has ran out the door before). Luckily no close calls like you had with a car. They always resulted in me chasing her down though and of course me praying she wouldn't get into the street and get ran over. Her coming out of her harness was at a park...chased her all over the park. Then the leash broke and I chased her down the sidewalk. (both of these were the same harness/leash set...). Then she used to try to bolt out of the house a lot as a puppy/young adult. She's pretty good about not trying that anymore though. Once she got out at my parents' house....they live out in the country on 48 acres (but there is a highway in front of the property). She took off behind the house and behind the pond and started to go into the woods. I had flip flops on and am terrified of snakes...luckily she came out and I was able to catch her.
