Howdy people!
Yesterday/today (depending on your point of view!) I was in for my weekly volunteering at AC&C. I had some time with a very cool dog, a red one that howled like a hound, had longish hair that crimped behind the ears, and was about 40-50 lbs. We had it listed as a retriever/GSD mix, but it was picked up as a stray, so who knows, right?
ANYHOW...
I just happened to look at the classifieds from the Sunday paper after I got home and saw a lost dog ad for a Chow/GSD. This seemed more likely a combination for the size of the dog. I'm thinking about calling these people, but I don't know how to explain the situation/dog without sounding like a complete weirdo. I know if anyone even THOUGHT they saw an animal that remotely matched my description in a lost & found ad that I'd want to hear from them!
So, please help me figure out what I am going to say when I call these people. Also, do other dogs besides retrievers get the crimped hair behind their ears?
I realize this post is totally incoherent, but I woke up and couldn't stop thinking about it. Please help ease my mind!
