There are benefits to a fearful dog. Zorro seemed to have shaken off his agorophobia this weekend. We went for a good five mile run on the towpath with no issues. On Saturday afternoon, the moon came up above the trees around 3, prompting another round of very excited barking, stamping and pacing.
I didn't realize that the downstairs to the garage was open until I saw Zorro streaking down the driveway and into the road. Denny jumped in the car to go look for him because Zorro can cover a lot of territory in a very short time.
Fortunately, he didn't get far: he decided to inspect a neighbor's porch (luckily, they weren't home) and when I got on the porch, he came right to me. We put him in the car and back in the house.
We would love to let him off leash so he can run the way he's built to do. But we're afraid he'll take off after a deer and not stop until he's in Pennsylvania. So no off leash running yet.
Anyway, here's an amazing video from Hulls Haven, a rescue organization in Winnipeg.

I think him coming to you is a great sign of trust too. A lot of dogs would of liked to play the catch-me-if-you-can game!
ReplyDeleteYou say "when", I'll grab another furball and we'll test out the off-leash thing on our secret hike sometime.
