Frustrated Owners Share Stories About How Hard It Is To Catch A Dog Once It Runs Away (30 Pics)
If you have a dog, you know what it means to chase after them in the streets while your heart is skipping beats like it was an R&B song. Sometimes, all it takes to unleash your dog’s hyperactive double is a lone duck by the pond, sometimes it’s the neighbor dog, but most often, it’s your dog playing the game of their life. That game is called “catch me if you can.”
So when Brian, who goes by the Twitter handle @itsbriancuh, tweeted: “eff a break up, have y’all ever had to chase your dog down the street and they’re thinking it’s a game,” the tweet blew up on social media with 969.8k likes and 156k retweets, and it seemed that dog owners have totally found a safe space to talk about hard things.
Let’s see some of the best tweets about what it is like to chase those clueless and totally reckless four-legged creatures who care about nothing but trolling you. So get your sneakers ready, someone's gonna run far and scream hard, and it’s not gonna be me, since I'm not yet a dog owner.

My dog does this! She will disappear at night when I take her out, I get frantic and look for her, and then she's just waiting at the front door.

In my experience, they (unless they are complete doofuses) learn this trick real quick and you'll be lucky to snag them more than once or twice.

So elegant. She belongs on the runway, not being a runaway.

As a teen, I had two dogs that were husky,shepherd, and a smidge wolf. They didn’t show the wolf behaviorally much, but my white one, Tala, looked the part. She was also an escape artist and we found ourselves chasing her often. One time we had just came home and saw her run across the driveway and I chased her into the woods a bit, but no luck. So I went home knowing she’d find her way back, only to find that she was in the house... I had been chasing an actual wolf in the woods. 🤦♀️

Whoa. yeah. We had huskies, and they were very bright/cunning, but they were also not to be mistaken for wolves... Wolves aren't pets. Nope nope nope.

Train your damn dog. And if your dog keeps getting out of the house, maybe handle that s hit instead.

A lot of it is energy level too. RUN your damn dog. Play with them.

In my long life I've noticed that many people don't love and guide their children enough, and don't love and train their dogs enough. You need to train your dogs, (if they require it), for many reasons. First, for their own protection, second for your peace of mind and convenience, and third, to not annoy other people. Some dogs need almost no training. They intuitively know what you want of them, and will obey verbal and even non-verbal commands. Other dogs will require a great deal of training. I think it's because they either don't understand what you're asking of them, or because they don't care about pleasing you. I think dogs that run away mostly, if not always, fall into the last category.
