M le chien wasn't very interested in leaving. We think this might be the same dog we met in the forest a few years ago. We walked it to the edge of the forest and it ran off in the direction of the nearest farmhouse.
So we walked in that direction and the dog followed. This time he only ran out halfway into the field and stopped. So we left him and went home. We almost made it too, then the little dog same running up behind us. Hmmm.
