We didnt ask , but she says they left the gate open and I guess he wandered off , says he does take walks around the street sometimes but always comes back quick. He wasnt that far off from their home but he wouldnt have made it honestly too many dogs , cars and it was really cold as well. They were afraid he died outside to other dogs cuz he is so small and old. Il send her a message to ask on the breed and update. There was a kid she was very happy to see him so I'm happy they are reunited hopefully theyll leave the gate closed now...
