Sorry to hear that. I was lucky one time w/ my old dog, who was a standard schnauzer. He ran out because someone left our back gate unlatched and I guess the wind blew it wide open since it wasn't closed all the way and he got out one afternoon. All afternoon we went looking for him and couldn't find him for about 2 days. Then on that 2nd morning he showed up at the back door since we decided to leave the gate open in case he were to come back. He was wagging his tail panting dirtier than shit and smelled like ass. Bet he had himself a nice little adventure for a while. We always walked him around surrounding neighborhoods almost daily (as well as our own) within a couple/few mile radius so his "mark" was everywhere, every mailbox tree fire hydrant, etc. So I think by his smell as well as the general familiarity with the neighborhoods he was able to find his way back home. He was a very smart and intelligent dog. Very stubborn in his own right. Very alert dog, highly energetic and playful. Loved playing outside. Loved swimming in our pool. Could jump off the diving board on command.
Understood a huge vocabulary and had a good connection within the family. Great companion. Liked to wrestle and it used to sound like he wanted to tear you apart but at a flip of a switch could calm down and could cuddle with ya on the couch. Just a great companion. I miss him. He lived to be 15, had to put him down in 2006.
