My Kiwi was a year and 2 months old, he was fully trained and was only allowed to be unleashed while in our backyard. He never ran away from us (my husb especially) until Sept 21, 2011 when he was out back with my husband and Lola playing in the backyard, he ran away from my husb and out into the street and got hit by a car and was killed instantly, we live in a quiet neighborhood and it turned out our neighbors accross the street had come outside with their dog who Kiwi loved. It only took that one time and one instant that a car happened to be comeing down our street...
We have since become very big advocates for ALWAYS keeping your dogs leashed, it could save their life...please learn from my story, its not worth it to take such a big risk!
