| May 10, 2019 at 6:36 | comment | added | Burki | @RonJohn i don't doubt that they could get out. But i guess you would need to at least draw a sketch of an idea how they did in order to create a viable answer. And of course, the inbreeding problem still exists with such a small population. | |

I read about a lurcher that did that at Battersea Dogs' Home - he'd worked out how to open the latch of his cage from the inside, and he was not only breaking out at night to raid the kitchen, he was letting all the other dogs out before he set off! | |
| May 9, 2019 at 13:12 | comment | added | RonJohn | @Burki in actuality, they might have all died. But it's not outside the realm of believability (and that's all that counts in fiction) that clever and highly motivated (read: hungry) animals with opposable thumbs might be able to escape to look for food. | |
