For missing dogs, the probability of return is difficult to predict. Many factors, such as the dog's intelligence level, behavioral abilities, and the presence of other dogs in the neighborhood, can affect the likelihood of a homecoming. Although sometimes dogs can find their way back home, it depends on how much intelligence and behavioral ability the dog has to follow the path back home and its ability to become familiar with its surroundings.
Generally speaking, a lost dog may come back on its own, but this probability is relatively small, only about 20%. There are many factors that affect the return of a dog. Therefore, if the dog is lost, you need to search everywhere in time. If conditions permit, it is best to post a missing dog notice near the location where the dog was lost.
The probability of dogs coming back after being lost is very small. They do not have the special ability to identify directions like homing pigeons, and they can easily run into unfamiliar environments far away from home. If it is a breed dog or a pet dog that is well cared for by its owner, it is likely that it will be picked up because it is too "attractive".
In short, it is the responsibility of the dog owner to take good care of your dogs and prevent them from getting lost~
