Although most dogs learn the 'stay' command as puppies, it doesn't mean they'll always respond to it. That's exactly what one owner came to learn when his dog escaped his property to explore Northern California's mountains on a solo adventure.
Taking to Reddit, a man recalled how his friend almost started a street fight after roaming the mountains in search of his missing dog. He said: "A friend of mine had a dog named Ammo and lived in a super rural area (no power lines, off the grid) in the mountains of Northern California. [It's] where a bunch of prepper types (survivalists) and gun nuts live and a lot of people have large cannabis grows.
"Ammo ran off his property and he couldn’t find him, so he got in his truck and started driving around the dirt roads calling his name." He went on to explain how one of his neighbours soon answered his calls for Ammo - loading up his quad bike with "everything" that could help.
