My dog has been lost for 2 days, will he come back home ?

He loves you so much he dug his way out of your premises and ran off!!!!

Maybe you did not give him enough attention and exercise in his old age eh?

He may still be alive and someone has taken him to a shelter or he may be dead by being hit by a car. What have you done to find him apart from just searching? Put up lost dog notices? Asked at shelters? Or dog warden? No one can say if your dog will came back home. Dogs that are exercised welland that look upon their humans as their pack, do not run off for no reason. Jmo.

It is unlikely but not impossible for your dog to come back. I once had an escape artist dog and he knocked down our fence and ran with the 3 other dogs. Two of the dogs didn't go far, but the other two (One being the escape artist) went who knows where. One of the dogs was 11, the other was 4. We looked for them for a week before checking all the nearby pounds again. They had been picked up behind a FredMeyer (Krogers) the night before we went to the nearest pound. Check the nearby pounds and shelters, and check the dogs favorite places (E.g the dog park). I hope you find him!

Not if he has been pounded no.... He will be a deceased dog within a week in the dogpound

Maybe.  What effort have you put in in finding him?  Did you post signs up?  Did you put your dog on social media (FB usually has local Lost and Found pages)?  Did you go to the shelters and see in person if your dog may have been picked up and taken there?

It depends. If you are just sitting around now doing nothing then no it is not likely he will return. You have be active. Make a post on NextDoor. It's a site and also an app similar to Facebook that links neighborhoods. Doing this will have your neighbors keeping an eye out for your dog. Make posts on Facebook and ask family & friends to share it. Post on local neighborhood groups too & yardsale groups. Call all nearby shelters and vets.

Go to the pound every day to see if he has been picked up by Animal Control.

Put up fliers about your missing dog.

Put an ad in the local newspaper that you lost your dog. Check that listing every day for someone who has found him.

Hopefully who ever found him has the sense to contact someone about a found dog & not just keep him.

Call some Vets that are close to you. Talk to the kids in the neighborhood, they may have seen him in someone's yard.

If he dug out to get away, he may do the same thing & come home.

I'd suspect it's quite likely somebody has taken him in off the roads and hopefully handed him in at a local Shelter.   Unfortunately finding and keeping happens too often so you need to talk to local kids and posties who might know where a new dog has turned up.   Poster, poster and poster - everywhere, vets waiting rooms and so on and your local radio station may be interested in including his being missing on a programme too.

If he was entire, he may, even at his advanced age, have dug out to go after a local b itch in season - in which case eventually he may come home.  It may be that his 'luv' for a lady-friend will for now, be greater than his luv for youi!!

Make him too hot to keep - and go to your local Shelters in person as he may be in there, under a different 'breed'.   Kennel Staff are not always accurate in their breed descriptions.

Dogs don't always just come home on their own. After two days, it's highly unlikely that he's just going to just show up and start barking to be let in. He could be at the local shelter, or someone might have him. Call Animal Control, put up signs, and post his picture on Facebook. 

I hope you get your dog back, but you have to do your due diligence to find him. 

I hope he does. Check ALL the local shelters and call animal control to check if he was picked up.

Sure he will. Put up posters, always be looking...but he'll be back.
