I bet your heart stopped until you had her in your arms! Good thing she didn't run and she listened to you! I remember one time we were in Petsmart and someone Smokey's leash somehow disconnected from his gentle leader... he didn't even know it and was just standing there looking around. I'm glad he didn't realize, because I know him and he would have made me chase him around the store. I had to cautiously kneel down and get a hold of him first before I made it obvious that he didn't have a leash attached. I have since taught Smokey a little better... he doesn't learn the same way a lot of dogs do and I had to do a lot of recall work with him and I taught him to come using a whistle. Since I've done that, he's gotten a lot better about coming back and not running around like a nut.
