We have a wonderful chow/border collie mix. We adopted her when she was 2 years old. She had been returned to the shelter twice because she was an escape artisit. We took her anyway because she and our other dog seemed to like each other as soon as they met. She was indeed an escape artisit! She was constantly getting out - she could flatten herself out and wiggle under the gate! She would roam the neighborhood until she found someone going for a walk and then just join them. We put a tag on her that said “Hi. My name is Bacardi. I live at … and my number is …” Most people would let her tag along and then either call us or put her back in our yard after their walk. No one ever called animal control, I guess because she was so sweet and didn’t bother them - just walked along behind them. She’s 13 now and her escape days are over but she is still the sweet loving girl who enchanted our entire neighborhood :)
