- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

When I was a kid we had a couple dogs at different points, who were exactly like this, run at any chance.
Then I came to Germany, and the culture here (as compared to my family at least) is that they take walking the dog very seriously, like multiple times a day, every day. I was not used to this at all, but I haven't heard of dogs ever just running away since I've been here.
So it could just be that my dog-owning friends here are just very good trainers, but it seems like giving dogs lots and lots of opportunities to get outside, exercise and explore makes them a lot less likely to try escape on their own
Regular walks are the absolute best thing you can do for your dog and yourself.
Across suburban humanity, there are countless millions of dogs who get to stare at the same walls every day, all day, and they are creatures designed for roaming and running down prey. For that matter, so are you.
Dogs get depressed and anxious, people get depressed and anxious. Walking helps with that.
How much is it around where you are?
There's another German thing with dogs: it's typical to walk your dog without a leash - something that would make people freak out where I live now. Maybe German dogs are a bit more used to obeying verbal commands.
