my dog has been out for the past 3 days every time I try to catch her she runs in the opposite direction she’s very hard to catch. She even got into the neighbors backyard the other day and I had to go in there to catch her. I read a post on Reddit that says that if you should pretend to be hurt till or your dog back to you so I did that laying on the sidewalk while she ran in the opposite direction I didn’t know that two of my neighbors were outside and heard me one of them tried to walk towards me to help me up thinking I was actually hurt I had to tell him that I was only pretending to my dog back home. So not only did I make a complete fool of myself I also trespassed today. So yeah…

TLDR: I faked being hurt to try and get my dog back but my neighbor thought I was actually hurt.
