Laika took off after some wild life the other day while hiking in remote mountains. It took me 4 hours to find her just when it was getting dark, man I got scared. She is fine, no scratch, just dirty as hell. Also took us 3 hours to get back to the car in pitch black, what an adventure!

Her prey drive is so strong, that no matter what I do, she will not stop until she gets to the prey. We both got lucky she didn't stumble over a pack of coyotes or a mountain lion, but I know she did get to something for sure because of her speed, it's almost like she can fly. 

This tought me a valuable lesson as to how it feels when you think you lost your dog, very scary! I will take strict measures with her, and for now there are some safe hiking trails around my area that we'll as our playground for a while.

I will also start her on personal protection, since she loves to fight and bite, and maybe check agility courses. Will keep you guys posted about the developments of my crazy girl.
