Each dog has its own character, its nature, its personality. In part it depends on race, gender, socialization with his siblings, the environment in which he grew up and the type of training he received.
Some breeds have a natural predisposition which are appreciated precisely for their specific qualities. A dog can run away for several reasons: if only, to go after the owner, to follow the smell of another dog, to reach something that he has seen pass, for love, adventure or curiosity. In general, if treated well, the dog always returns home. Unfortunately, the risks to which he is exposed during the escape are numerous as are the responsibilities of the owner in case he causes an accident or bites a person or a tall dog. A dog that escapes by law is omitted custody and the owner of a dog can face administrative or criminal penalties in the event of damage to third parties.
