Long story short, my sister's neighbor let 3 of her dogs out, her fat lab walked down the street then went back and plopped on the porch, her 2 poodles went to a nearby park where someone chased them into another city, they split, and the male was caught the female wasn't, we spent hours and hours looking for her, she would be spotted on a trail next to a highway and we'd rush over there and she wouldn't be there anymore by the time we got there. She is very skittish around people she doesn't know. She was finally caught because she was being chased by a police office and collapsed, she had several wounds on her maggots etc, my dad (who is a Vet) went to pick her up and thought she was dead, she was sOOOOOOO weak.
Here are some threads about it:
