> I believe a dog values freedom more than its immediate personal safety

Dogs have a different relationship to their owner than people do with their best friends or parents.

It's like the best parts of each relationship wrapped into one for dogs.

And sometimes relationships are toxic. Yes, the dog stays with its owner, most times at a detriment to its own health.
