First, I am so happy for y'all, that Dobby found his way home. That is a pretty empty, lonely feeling looking for a missing dog.

I used to have a German Shepherd which would climb out chain link fence. Not jump over the fence, that was too easy. She would actually climb it. After all kinds of deterrents, we finally gave up. She wa the neighborhood dog anyway. In high school, so many neighbors would call and ask me to come get my dog. Most everytime she would be inside the house being spoiled and petted, lol
