On a run to the grocery store, Edgar is confronted by Ida Paine, the psychic of the town. She tells him he has to "go" unless he can find the bottle, the bottle with the poison that killed Gar. A new owner came to see the dogs he bought and Edgar and his litter performed the new commands. It mesmerized everyone in the room and spooked Claude as Edgar had hoped. However, the show he put on was embarrassing. After the new owner left, Edgar caused the veterinarian to fall. It is the last straw in the Sawtelle household. After the accident, Trudy ordered Edgar to leave and hide in the woods until she called him back. Edgar takes three dogs from his litter and they set off trying to avoid being seen by the cops. He didn't plan on returning. http://kidshealth.org/kid/grow/tough_topics/running_away.html. This link explain some of the reasons why kids run away.
