My dog loves to ride in the car and will wait for me with the doors open...as long as I'm in sight. When I walk around the corner, she jumps out and follows me. If I tell her to stay, she does (for a while).
What I was leading up to that the dog staying suggested to me that whatever happened and whoever was involved, it was someone with a degree of control over the dog.
