If your dog or cat runs away then you weren't meeting their needs.

Or they are dumb and ran away on a whim. Animals aren't always rational.

It probably does happen occasionally on accident, like hunting dogs that pick up an interesting scent and then get lost, but I've never met a good pet owner who's pet ran away. It's always the guy who locked his dog in the backyard 16 hours a day and never thought of them as family, or the cat owner who put the car on a starvation diet hoping it would catch mice.

Well you also haven't intentionally looked into it, this is just your random experience; and since other people here are offering ADDITIONAL experience where those things DID happen, maybe you should fucking take that into account too. Or do you prefer only to learn from mistakes that you make personally?

Or they're an animal that doesn't have an adult rational brain?
