Saw the post below, figured we could give it a try here.
Not necessarily intelligent, but remarkable, one time my wife and I owned a German shepherd. We would take her to a trail system a couple of miles from our house and she was able to be off-leash there. Sometimes when she ran too far ahead, we would duck for cover behind trees or bushes. Then she'd have to come back and search for us.
I did this one day while my wife chose to stay at home. I hid so well that Shiloh, our dog, couldn't find me. Instead, she decided to run all the way home (not recommended because she had to cross a busy road to get there).
Anyway, my wife heard scratching at the door. She opened it and saw our dog but no me. She immediately had a panic attack, thinking I must have dropped along the trail system.
Meanwhile, I'd spent about 45 minutes looking for Shiloh and calling her name, not knowing she ran home. My wife showed up with the dog awhile later and we were all happily reunited. But the games of "hide and seek" stopped after that.
