Dog runs away from home to join buddies at doggie day care

A dog has run away from home because it appears he missed his friends.

Hugo was filmed running into Happy Tails Pet Hotel and Playland in Missouri last week.

“Hugo is a frequent border here and last week Hugo ran away from home with only one thing on his mind,” the dog hotel wrote on Facebook.

The hotel added Hugo travelled more than 1.6km to visit and crossed a busy motorway.

The post included video of an excited Hugo running into the building.

“Hugo came sprinting onto our parking lot and into the front door following one of our employees,” it wrote.

“We are so glad Hugo wasn’t hurt and told him next time to have his dad drive him. All dad could do was laugh as he picked Hugo up.”

Facebook users were impressed by Hugo’s efforts and also relieved he wasn’t hurt.

“Wow! That is amazing!” one woman wrote.

“So glad Hugo is safe. He obviously was on a mission!”

Another woman added at least Hugo “knows where his home away from home is”.

In other recent tail wagging, barking news, a dog who was burnt in a fire and left to be euthanised last month has been given a second chance.

In August, a golden retriever Labrador cross made headlines when he was pictured sitting patiently on the beach.
