Today, my dog ran away. I looked for him for 5 hours, and when I came back home, he was waiting for me at the door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, my dog disappeared for an hour. After I'd called her name repeatedly, she crawled out from under my bed, threw up on my feet, and then happily walked out the room. FML
Today, I got home only to discover my dog was missing. After spending ages roaming the freezing streets calling his name, I returned to find him stuck behind the couch with my chewed-up new shoes in his muzzle. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally let me take his dog on a walk, after two years of not trusting me to keep her safe. During the walk, a car drove by, causing her to run after it and pulling the leash out of my hand. Five hours later, and I still can't find her. FML
Today, my dog ran away. It was dark, so I couldn't see very well, but I ran after him anyway. Thinking I had caught up to him, I grabbed him. It wasn't my dog. It was a skunk. FML
Today, I searched our neighborhood for our lost dog. After screaming at the top of our lungs, driving around in circles, and asking strangers, we realized we took him to the groomers this morning. FML
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, I got home from work and found my dog missing. When I asked my neighbor if she saw what happened, I saw my dog sleeping on her couch. She tried to say it was hers. FML

5 hours wasted is better than losing your dog

Sure your dog isn't a cat? My cat pulls that shit all the time.

My dog was a runner too when she catches a scent. Never walk without your phone and have your number on it's tag. Trust me. And get a good-quality dog whistle and train it.

My dog did a similar thing except it turned out that she was hiding in the house and didn't come out the first 100 times I called her, so we ended up looking around the neighborhood in case she had escaped. When she finally came out of hiding, I couldn't stay mad at her for long once I saw her goofy smooshed up face. Glad your dog came back in the end, OP.

The FYL or YDI depends on whether the dog was waiting inside the door or outside of it ...

How is this an FML? You got your dog back. So what, you lost five hours, better than losing your dog. I'd honestly be overjoyed not annoyed.

I understand the stress of having to look for a lost dog, OP. Funnily enough I had one that got out and after spending an hour looking for her I found her right by our back gate. Glad you found your dog too.
