Researchers Taught Parrots to Video Call Other Parrots

A dog that requires a leash or an active restraint to prevent it from running away is not representative of dog ownership in general. My dog has no interest in running away and the only time I have to use a leash is when it’s imposed by local ordinance.

If your dog wanted to run away it probably had a shitty life.

Different breeds, and different dogs within those breeds, have different drives.

I know some dogs that will gleefully run away and explore the woods if given the chance... and then return sheepishly 20-30 minutes later. If they ever do get lost, or someone else "finds" them, etc, it'll be a tragedy.

My nextdoor feed is filled with run away dogs. I think your experience might be slightly less common than you think.

Survivor bias. Your nextdoor feed doesn’t have posts about the orders of magnitude more dogs that aren’t running away.
