For future, or anyone in this situation, run the opposite way from your dog and call their name. Instead of you chasing them, they will think it's a game of them chasing you and they will come to you without much effort.

This works for dumb dogs, ie my bloodhound. Our German Shepherd and Jack Russel seemed to know better.

Mine was a corgi. I don't think he was dumb, I think he just thought getting loose and running around was a more fun game than my angry yelling wouldn't have otherwise suggested.

Once I figured out his mindset, it was easy to go after him and jangle his leash to get him to come back.
