Also, the man that lived next to the house we were staying at, shoed him out of his yard.

I will do what I can to ensure their safety

I've had a handful of strange occurrences with lost dogs (housed one for a couple of days, had to crawl through the woods to find one once, etc... each one of them made it home safely) all because I knew how much it would mean to me if someone ever did that for one of mine.
I know I'm not a perfect pet owner. No matter how careful you are, they're gonna find a way out on occasion (I've had 2 of them get loose on me) and all you can do at that point is rely on the kindness of others to get them home safely.
Sorry you lost your pup. Don't beat yourself up too badly, but please keep helpin' where you can. The simple act of putting a runaway into your back yard for a few minutes can save someone months of heartache.
