Yeah, I really hope she just got lost/confused rather than intentionally leaving her new family, only to now be returned to them.

I know how fucked up this is, but all I could think of was that victim of Dahmer's who sought help and was returned to him by the police..

Exactly. If dogs truly love you unconditionally then why are they always running away?

They like wandering around, exploring and sniffing their surroundings, so they are exited to do so when they get the chance

Then they just get lost, stolen/taken in by people, or sadly hit by a car

being boxed in a house is not ideal for a dog. they want out. but that doesn’t mean they hate their owners – just that houses are not natural environments for them. also, dogs love the company of other dogs. i guess ideally for them, you’d be running around in the wild with them making new doggie friends!
