I had thought of the girlfriend part, since he wasn't to be neutered until after he got over heartworm treatment - but not letting shepherd follow - but then he's not trained for that and I don't have anything particular with the scent. It's been 32 hours now - he was always hungry and didn't even get breakfast before he ran - would think he would come back if he wanted to and could. I've really never seen anything like this!
