My little Yorkie has gotten away from me twice in my unfenced yard. Both of these times, I was scared to death - there is no way he'll come back to me until he wants to. But, luckily I caught him quickly. This was only because he stopped to smell something.
I have even thought about putting two leashes on my dog instead of just one. I live in fear of his getting away. He loves being outside and is the fastest thing in the world. I couldn't catch him in a hundred years if he didn't want to be caught.
He comes to me when I call him in the house --but for some reason, this doesn't work outside.
I'm sure he'll get away a few more times before my life is over. But, believe me, it won't be because I'm not careful.
