This is my own version of a PSA: If you ever get a dog in your life, for whatever reason - companionship, children want one (Obama), accidentally, etc. please remember this.
When your dog gets loose, and it will, don't run after it. Because your dog will think you're playing a game and continue to run around. Or your dog will get scared that it's going to get in trouble and not want to get caught.
Instead very calmly crouch down and call it over with your sweetest "here puppy" voice. Alternately, if that doesn't work, run in the opposite direction calling your dog's name so you know they'll notice you're doing something. I've done both to recapture my dog at different points.
Boomer and I have captured a few runaway dogs in our days walking around Chicago. Yesterday was a puppy, who very nearly got flattened on Addison just west of Western.
