The track we ran last night leads us to the unbelievable conclusion that all of the sighting locations are connected by a central "grand circuit" that he does, or at least has done more than once, like tiny petals on a giant sunflower center. The fact that so small a dog can cover so much territory is amazing but it does make a lot more sense to me about the far removed sighting locations. I was shocked when we found scent at each of those locations and now I understand how he gets there and that he manages to keep coming back to the neighborhood near the Honey Pig. Although we did not go to that particular parking lot last night we did go through KMart and the little center where his groomer is before heading back down to Braddock Rd via Backlick Rd.
Interesting, when we finally got the idea to look up the description of the Brussels Griffon breed today, this is what was said:
"Griffons lack a homing instinct and because of their sense of self importance may take off to see the world when the opportunity presents itself. A safely fenced yard and no opened doors are a necessity. Griffons are not like other dogs. They are affectionately known as Velcro dogs because they attach themselves to one person in the family, sometimes two, and need to be with that person 24/7. They want to sleep in bed with you. They follow you from room to room and are never more than 2-3' from you. If you are standing at the sink, you may find your Griff sitting on your feet. When you sit down, your Griff will be in your lap."
