Why do dogs run away from their homes?

Im talking about dogs who have loving owners who dont really have a reason to run away. I mean they have a home, they get food and water, they get taken care of so why would they want to run away. I think its because they want to explore outside their homes but its upsetting if they never come back.

I think it is really just what is in the dog. They are suppose to live outdoors so when that chance happens for them to run outside they go for it. We in the Untied States tend to leave the animals in the house too much and the smaller the dog is the more it needs to go outside. Take care and happy mylotting to you.

i never experiencing my dog run away without returning back home... if they don't return there could be a lot of reasons... they might be stolen.. or they don't want the way his/her owner treats him/her
