Uncovering the mysterious ways lost dogs can find their way back home, by StanleyCoren
There are many verified instances of lost dogs finding their way home over distances of hundreds of miles, even over unfamiliar terrain.
Almost every week we hear or read reports of lost dogs traveling many miles over unfamiliar terrain to find their way back home. The firstfilm was inspired by one such story. In Eric Knight's tale"Lassie Come Home," a beautiful Collie, Lassie, escapes from the Duke of Rudling's harsh kennel keeper to find her way back to the home where she was born. Lassie's journey takes many weeks, during which she travels from Scotland to Yorkshire, a distance of around 400 miles.
For longer distances, it appears that dogs may make use of an ability to detect the Earth's magnetic fields to orient themselves. Studies from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague found that around 60% of dogs used their noses to track their way back to their handlers, while some 30% tend to take a north-south jog following a geomagnetic line, which seems to help them get their bearings, much like a compass. This is followed by a return back via a new route.
In the morning Margaret got up, hoping that Dash might have returned, but he had not. She committed herself to at least one more day of waiting. As twilight approached she left her post in front of her room to get something to eat at a little diner across the road. As she glanced down the road to check for traffic she saw the familiar silhouette of a dog who appeared to be sniffing at one of the items of clothing she had laid by the roadside.
