My dog was an escape artist, she would get out any way she could. One day the crazy neighbor (we all have them) called the pound. they came about a minute after we got her inside and told me that if they catch her out I get a $79.00 fine and a misdemeanor on a first offence. one the second offence I could get jail time. Now, I think that's a little harsh.
She ran away 5 times the very next week so I took her in to the pound and shoved her in the drop box. I hope someone adopted her.
