We searched for a corgi in Kirkland. It was too hot to work Tino, so he stayed in the air conditioning and we drove around looking. We methodically searched an area three blocks long and three blocks wide, where had been seen multiple times. As we were going home, after hours of fruitless searching, I just happened to catch a glimpse of him five blocks from the search grid. He was dragging his leash, and he darted down the driveway. It was just a fraction of a second, and I just happened to be looking the right way at the right time. His owner got there within three minutes, but she couldn’t locate him. He was probably hiding nearby, out of sight. A few hours later, he ran back north, five blocks away, to the area of the original grid search. He was seen playing with another dog, through the fence. It took another 24 hours for them to catch him. As they were setting a trap, he just came running right up to the owner.
