Years ago, my mom was taking care of my niece. Patches, the dog, needed to go to the bathroom so mom just opened the door and let him go outside by himself. Normally, he doesn't go far, but I heard that there was a small female dog wandering around the neighborhood.
To make a long story short, Patches was gone for 10 days. People would say that they had seen him around town but we never could find him.
On th 10th day, a neighbor calls Brother #1 to say that he had seen Patches at Dairy Queen on the other side of town. Greg called him but he wouldn't come.
My parents had been living the door open a little so that Patches would come home..Lo and behold a couple of hours later, in strolls Patches like he had only been gone for a few minutes and plops on the rug to take a snooze. He lost 20 lbs but otherwise was fine. After that, when he took a walk outside, he made sure that someone was watching him!
((Wonder if he knew the way home b/c my parents would frequently take him to DQ to get HIM an ice cream, lol!!)
