I have a very sweet bassett....
The problem with mine is that we don't have a fenced in yard...and when she gets out of the dog run...her nose leads her AWAY...

And her stubborn bassett tendencies keep her from coming back when I call her.

Therefore...after MANY times of chasing her down the road and hauling her big heavy butt back to the yard...she now has to be on a long lead when she is out of the run. SOMEDAY we hope to have a fenced in yard...but for now, she seems fine on the lead. We got the longest we could find...so she has a lot of room....but I still hate it that she won't stay where she belongs!
Anyway, my story was told because maybe that is what happened with the one you have...maybe she got out and just started following her nose until she got too far from home. Maybe you will get a call soon!
