I was in survival and I found two dogs, so I dug a hole for one, a normal one, and the other a puppy, I went back to my base which is only a couple hundred blocks away to get bones and when I came back both dogs disappeared. They didn't escape, that would be impossible since both holes were two blocks high.
Steps to reproduce
Spawn in two dogs, or find them naturally
If spawned in then switch to Survival
Dig a two block deep hole for each dog
Go about 200-300 blocks away, wait around 15-20 seconds and then return to the dogs
They should not be there

I don't know why that is, but after you are a certain distance away, mobs despawn, so it is an intentional game design.

This is a "new" mechanic called despawning.
