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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, someone let my puppy escape. I didn't know, until I arrived home and hit him with my car. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML
Today, I got pulled over by the cops for swerving a lot while driving. I tried to explain that my dog bit the back of my neck, but as soon as I opened my door to show him the bite marks and the dog, he ran out of the car. I still can't find him. FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, and left for the 1 hour drive to the nearest vet. When I arrived, I realized that I left my cat in its carrier on my kitchen counter. 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, 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
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, 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, I was driving back from school 100 miles away from my home with my fiancé and dog. While stopping for gas, we accidentally left our car keys and cell phones in the car. The dog sat on one of the keys and engaged the locks. We were locked out of the car until the tow truck arrived. FML

So you opened the car door without either having a leash on the dog or ready in case your dog tried to bolt? Sorry to say but YDI.

That sucks op. My dogs always try to escape when I take them to the vet, but luckily I have a leash on them.

I've heard those microchips only work if someone finds/steals your dog and takes them to a place that scans them for the chip. It's not a Lo Jack system, unless it's improved? OP, I hope you had a collar on him with your information on it.

Nope, it's not a gps based tracking system. so even if OP's dog had ran off after the vet visit she still would be in the same situation, unless the dog happened to be found by someone who could use the microchip technology. All it does is give the owners contact info and the information could be outdated if the owners haven't bothered to update their contact info. while I understand why a GPS based tracking system isn't used, it really would be a valuable service to any responsible, loving pet owner.

You report your dog missing it vets in the area and they will scan dogs that meet the description

Why wasn't his leash attached to his (tagged) collar? I'm sorry your dog ran away, but YDI.

OP never said the dog wasn't on a leash. unless she pulled the dog out through the driver side door, she still had to open the door to grab the leash, so the dog could have easily bolted before the OP could even grab the leash. In either case, sorry OP. That stinks.

That's what I'm thinking... The dog bolts and you just stand there and watch or what? I gotta admit most dogs are pretty fast, but normally they'd get tired and come back to you eventually cause they think it's a game... unless you are a crappy owner and they wanted to get the hell away from you. F the dog's life, but YDI, OP.
