Good lord are you a moron. Instincts are one thing, but wild canines LEARN a great deal of their survival skills from their pack. A domestic dog doesn't. Do you have any idea how many strays starve to death?
Furthermore, were those dogs even neutered? Or did you just let them out to make more litters of unwanted puppies? Not to mention the risk of rabies from strays...

Animals have a "will" of their own, just like humans. That's why some animals will rip open your couch, while others would just prefer to pee on it. Another might not hurt it, merely lay on it. Ironic, then, that an animal would make the choice to leave when it so loves where it is.
A child, who has a will, and emotions of his own, can be raised in a loving, caring home, but that doesn't mean thatone who is too young to know any better won't wander off or go running into traffic.
