Dogs-pulls. Why are they lost?

In the morning I walked in our suburban forest. Suddenly a dog ran out of a side path. “Now the owner will appear,” I thought, and go further, and the dog runs next to me, then he’ll be behind, then he will run forward.

So we passed with her 300 meters. I look around. No owner is visible. And the dog is well -groomed, clean, on the wool, even traces of the crest are visible. There is no collar on the neck. Just in case, I took a picture of the dog and went on, and she turned to another path.

I recently had a similar case. Walked along the forest road. A dog ran out to the meeting. He looked around, the owner is also nowhere to be seen. I'm going further, the dog runs next to me. So about 2 km passed with her. She stayed on the shore, and I turned into the forest.

If you go along this road, you will go to the oil depot. I thought that the dog was probably from there. The guards feed homeless dogs, and they protect the territory. Barking a dozen dogs in the night will scare away any villain.

The next day I saw an ad on the tree that the dog was lost. I called the indicated phone. It turned out that people were looking for a dog in a completely different place, closer to the city, and did not even think that she could run so far.

I suggested that, most likely, they need to look for their dog at the oil depot. The hostess was delighted. She said that he and her husband are sure to go there. The next day, in the evening, she sent SSMESK: “There was a loss!”

Homemade city dogs do not have experience in independent life on the street. Yes, and where to get such an experience. They spend most of the time in an apartment in a closed space. They walk only with the owner.

In Finland, a study was recently conducted in which the behavior of urban and rustic dogs was compared. It turned out that city dogs are much more cowardly than their village counterparts are less adapted to independent life.

Scientists explained this by the fact that the owners of city dogs seek to protect their pets from various stressful situations, unnecessarily patronizing them. While in rural areas, village dogs are more independent, well oriented in space, are not afraid to protect their territory.
