1 Answer. Animals in Minecraft have particular behaviours, that might help you track down your dog. In this case, dogs will attack skeletons of their own accord, so it’s entirely possible that after you died, it chased after the skeleton that attacked you, and continued after another one nearby.
Teleportation.
wolves teleport to their owner, if they are more than 12 blocks away, with a few caveats. Teleporting resets the focus of a tamed wolf, so if a wolf is attacking a mob and teleports beside a player, it resumes following the player.

Why are my dogs not following me in Minecraft?
1 Answer. Wolves can not teleport when you are too far away (I think the limit it about 100~200 blocks). Wolves can teleport though blocks so it’s not because of the walls. Try tame wolves in creative then fly far away from them, they can’t follow after a set distance.
