Conditions and situations occur that can be cause for a pet OR child to wander off, usually in a split second of preoccupation, open door, phone call etc, would you fine a parent or remove their child because of it? Maybe you're one of the rare ones that would NEVER allow that to happen but most of us are less than perfect and these things sometimes do happen..We all have our opinion as do you but they're still just opinions and shouldn't morph into hyperbole and THAT is just my opinion..

I agree with you. The idea that the owner is at fault because the dog took it upon himself to dig a hole and escape while nobody was looking is preposterous. My dog can dig a hole two feet deep on a beach in five minutes flat. Our son could get 50 feet up a tree without making a sound. Who knows what pets or kids are going to think up next? Accidents happen through nobody's fault.
This subject is not about assigning fault; it's about acting responsibly.
