When I was toddler my family moved a hundred miles down the coast. Our cat didn't like the new place and ran away...
Two weeks later he was seen back at the old house! The story made it into the local paper.
As a teen I gave my sister's labrador a LONG walk around the town and local beach. The dog came home exhausted and for the rest of his life he wouldn't follow me anywhere!
