Our otherwise lazy doggo had some keeda this morning and managed to escape our house into the community. However him being golden the best way to get him back home is actually not to chase him but just sit at your doorstep and yell “Who wants a cookie?!” - he waits to see if we will chase him and eventually the promised cookie wins him over and he scampers back by himself. So anyway moral of story is if your golden runs away, don’t panic, just get food out and he will come back.
