Today, I lost my dog while hiking. After searching the trails for an hour and a half, he was by the car. FML

I figured one of two things would happen: 1. He was in the same area we got separated or 2. He went back to the car. I chose to search the first option before getting a phone call that somebody found my dog. He has 3 ways to id him: dog park tag, name tag, and microchipped. It was the park tag that somebody had called on.

I think the real question here is why did you give up and return to the car?

Maybe it was getting dark or it started raining.

Lucky you've got a smart dog. I'm glad it turned out alright :) my sister's dog once ran from the library to her apartment...Nine blocks away!

what is a park tag? Google is not helpful.

We have to have the dogs registered with the city to go to the dog park here. It looks the same as a regular id tag but instead of a name and phone number it just has our membership number.

Mine did this to me not long ago, first time he's left my sight. I only had forward or back though, so I reached the next muddy patch, no foot prints so walked back. Thank god for dogs who are clever enough to return to cars!

Aww well it worked out in the end. Our dog got out of the backyard once and we found him sitting at the front door waiting to be let in.

I sure hope you weren't looking too hard...I figured he would be around that area...

My dog did the same thing as a puppy. We were walking in the woods and it started raining (she hates walking in rain) and all of a sudden she ran off. Well we spent ages looking for her and I went back to the car to find her sat there waiting to get in.

There is always the chance the dog got off somehow. My dog broke her leash at the beach yesterday.

A lot of dogs are trained to walk off leash for hiking. You ever try hiking along with an excited dog trying to smell everthing? I hike with my dog off leash all the time. Its different from being in the city.
