Some dogs are runners, have seen them, never owned one.
I came home last night and noticed that the plumbers had left the back gate open. My heart dropped. But Buddy was sitting on the back patio, patiently waiting for my return, and his ability to come back in the house.
My friend had a runner, and we still laugh about the time she took off when he brought her over here a couple years ago. He literally ran about 2 miles before he finally caught up to her.
I think I saw a Dog Whisperer episode about runners, but I don't recall how he fixed it because it wasn't an issue for me.
