ranting about terrible neighbors.

Poor pup. We have a similar situation with owning a biggish piece of forested mountain, and our two hounds will range many miles if allowed to. Everyone here has guns, so they are not allowed to roam. We fenced a small area out back and put in a dog door so they can go outside at will, but they do not run free. It sounds like you may have to change what Porky is allowed to do.

Sorry I have not being giving updates.

Porky recently ran away and hasn't been back since the day before yesterday. likely pouting about having to wear a harness and a cone.

we have a smaller fence up, but he digs underneath and escapes

Put an electric fence just inside the existing fence, about a foot away from the existing fence and about 8" above the ground. I like to put Christmas lights along it. Then if the electric fence ever goes off for any reason, the dog will still stay clear of it because the lights are a reminder.

I sure hope he comes home.
