Prison break!

Zorro escaped the yard this morning. It happened after we got back from a walk/run that was longer than our most recent outings. I had to literally pull him across the street but once he got going we had a decent run.
When we got back in the yard, the neighbor's dog was out, so I let him off his leash because they like to visit over the fence. Only then did I realize the front gate was open. And before I could react, Zorro had sailed right through it, and out into the street.
I ran after him, hollering his name and calling for Denny. Luckily, the neighbors across from us all have fenced in yards. If he had taken a right and headed into the park, he would be in Reston by now. We found him by a neighbor's garage and when Denny called, he came to him, which was encouraging.
Maybe this adventure will cure him of whatever it was that was frightening him outside. He seemed more relaxed when he got back in the house, and didn't retreat into the bathtub.
