I believe many people know that if you keep a pastoral dog at home, even if it goes out to play by itself, it will run home by itself without getting lost. But why do pet dogs often get lost? In fact, there is a reason behind it!

1. Being abducted

Everyone knows that some pet dogs are very valuable, and they are very good-looking, and are particularly friendly to strangers, so some people have the idea of ​​dogs and kidnap their dogs with snacks.

Because it wants to take the dog for itself, so it doesn’t have to spend money to buy it!

2. Because pet dogs are not often allowed to go out to play, their owners go to work and spend most of their time playing at home, so whenever they go out once, they don’t want to go home and keep playing outside until they are tired.

Some playful dogs will get higher and farther away, and they don’t want to be discovered by their owners, so no one will take them back!

3. The owner is not responsible

Some owners are very irresponsible and never bring a leash to the dog when they go out, so dogs often have accidents, either the dog bites people, the dog is bitten or hit to death.

The most common thing is that the dog is lost, and these are all caused by not carrying a leash!

4. Dogs often escape from prison

will also escape from prison. Don’t think that if the door is closed, the dog will not think of a way to go out. Sometimes it can escape from windows and the closed iron cage can be bitten.

After the dog escapes from prison, it will definitely escape as far as possible, so it will not go home. It is recommended that the owner should train the dog more. As long as it cooperates with dog snacks and trains more, it will be well-behaved and not escape randomly!

5. Being stolen by someone

Especially in winter, dog thieves will be particularly rampant. He dares to steal the dogs tied at the door openly, and even brings weapons, and the dog owner dares not approach.

Because the dog thief has a poisonous needle and a knife, the owner stepped forward to stop him, and he might even lose his life!

6. No smell left

Pet dogs are very playful. When they go out for a walk, they forget to leave their own smell. Then when they are about to go home, they may not know which direction.

So you will get lost, while the pastoral dog is different. It will pee after walking a few steps and leave its own smell on the way home, so that you will not be afraid of getting lost!
