I would really doubt that she did what she did out of spite.
My 7-month-old Yorke got loose for the first time two days ago - and boy did he have fun. He totally ignored me - never ever looked back when I called him. He ran to the end of a grassy area (almost a block and a half) to an area near the street - turned around and went out into the horse pasture for 20 minutes or so and then went over to the State Park (where I couldn't even see him) for nearly 40 minutes. The only good thing was that he was running with my other - more experienced dog.
I left my door open and twice he actually came back into the house, barked at me, and took off again. The third time he came in - I threw a piece of chicken into the kitchen, and when he went for that, I ran across the room and closed the door - and finally caught had him!!!!!
I can promise you that he held no grudge - but he sure had fun while he was out.
This was his first experience being loose and I certainly learned that he can't be trusted and won't come when I call him. So, he's back on the leash and some big-time training is on its way.
