Follow the Scent Home

An interesting note to all the otter attack hysteria...

When Rox slipped her collar and ran after the otters bit her butt, her instinct was to run for safety and/or home. She ran right past Bob and turned in at the sidewalk to John and Diane's condo. Bob found her panting at their door.

We had been to their condo the night before and Bob figures Rox smelled our scent on the path, and chose it as the way to safety.

I guess scents linger. I suppose that's how bloodhounds track their quarry.

I guess that makes Roxie a bloodhound dachshund.

Good to know that her instinct was to "go home"....
