Norbert asked the dog to wait int the woods until the sun is high the next day. It should be able to take care of itself. He realises it is not a great disguise but it will have to do.
Good plan. Any attempt at disguise will be made much harder with your recognisable dog at your heels. :)
Presumably you are most worried about your family 'catching' you? So maybe it does not matter too much if someone else recognises, you unless they also think to tell your family you are in town?
Would your family have 'raised the alarm' about your absense? Or would others not think much about seeing you? Give me a general idea of how they would normally have reacted to your being gone... for about two days now. There are other factors that may sway their reactions, so I may adjust your answers a bit.
