I took Rowdy to an auction with me the other day. He did fine greeting the other bidders and enjoyed walking around the grounds. I usually just use his collar and a leash when I take him out to do his business, but when I take him someplace where he is on his leash for a while, I will use his harness so he doesn't pull hard and choke himself. Well today I had his harness on and I was leading him around while looking at the merchandise to be auctioned.
I came across a few used chain saws that I was interested in. One of them in particular looked like it might be good and I wanted to see if it would run, so I put the leash down on the ground and stood on it so Rowdy wouldn't take off when I attempted to start the saw. I got it running to check it out and then shut it off, then somebody hollered at me, "Your dog took off!" I looked down and found the harness empty and Rowdy gone. He was about fifty feet away, sitting over by a building where he must of thought it was safe. I don't know how the LS got out of his harness as I didn't even feel him tugging on the leash under my foot, so he must be a reincarnation of Houdini!
