On my way to work, I have to drive down this road that goes thru the woods. There's no houses or anything on this road. There were 2 very large dogs wandering down the middle of it. No collars, no tags or anything.
One was a husky mix, and the other appeared to be like a Bernese Swissie mix?? They were *very* large dogs, probably around 150# each.
I pulled over, and stopped the car, but didn't get out. They were not friendly at all. The swissie ducked his tail between his legs, and the husky got very agitated. They both had large clumps of fur sticking out like they hadn't gotten brushed in a very long time.
I was kinda late for work, so I called Mark. He agreed to call the local acting humane society (they aren't official) and to call me at work if/when he found anything out.
He called me around 11, and said that he finally got hold of the humane society. They said that they couldn't do anything about it and to call the police. :( I didn't really want to do that because I was afraid they would automatically be taken to the pound. But Mark thought it best, so he did.
The police said that they have been trying to catch these two dogs for 2 days, and everytime they get anywhere close, they bolt. I am so afraid for these pups that they will just shoot them because they are afraid that they are a menace to society or something like that. The police said that they tried to lure them with a slim jim :rolleyes: and they wouldn't even take it from their hand. They had to put it on the ground and back away before they would sniff it.
We are pretty convinced that somebody just dumped them because we live in a pretty small neighborhood, and these dogs are just wild. All I can think about is them running, starving and looking for what was "home" to them.
Please say a prayer that these pups will be saved and that the perfect home setting will come along. I'm just so sad to think about them :( :( :(
