When my ball escaped he went behind my cupboards probably accessed it from under the stove or fridge, he crawled into that tight space between the back of the cupboard and the wall, and then managed to crawl his way up on top of the dishwasher laying between the soft padding of the dishwasher and the counter top. The only way I found him was because I unscrewed the dishwasher from the counter top and pulled in out, I did not expect he would of managed to crawl that high, I just did this to try to look behind the dishwasher. I was so relieved when I saw a little piece of him on top of it, I then managed to push down the padding enough to un-wedge him out. Good luck and remember they aren't always low to the ground.
