Here's my beagle after catching a sliver of door open on a 15 degree December night. He was gone for 3 hours in a several thousand acre Mississippi hardwood swamp. Escaped around 10pm and showed up around 1. I chased him and caught him initially, but he slipped out of his collar when we busted a deer, then I busted my a$$ in icy mud in the swamp trying to grab him so I went back to the house filthy.
For shame....
Yeah, that pup cuddled with me the rest of the night after his bath. I couldn't say no.
