I had Logan outside tonight when I saw her bark and run along the side fence. I saw a quick flash of black running back and forth on the other side of the fence running along side her. I went down and saw a young, playful black lab! I heard his tag jingle but didn't see anybody or hear anyone calling.
I ran in the house and recruited John to get a flashlight and another leash while I grabbed a handful of treats. i called to the dog who came running and jumping all over me. I grabbed his collar ehile he devoured about 5 cookies. We took him to the porch and while he sat on command, I tried to read his collar while he squirmed. John called the number and I spoke to the owner. The pup's name was Coal (neat) and had been missing for hours. We gave the guy directions to our house and then took Coal inside to meet with Logan. At first she wasn't too happy, but after we put them both on the porch, they wanted to play. (good girl, Logan).
I noticed Coal was very skinny and in desperate need of a good bath (PU) The owner showed up and apparently, Coal is a great escape artist and coming to my neighborhood was the farthest he's ever gone. The owner said something (mumbled) about the battery being out on his electric something or other-I'm assumming he meant electric fence.
Now John, who is very good natured, didn't like the guy's actions at all. He has a feeling that this guy was not a good dog owner and said that Coal was lucky he came to our place. He was sweet and friendly but I too had a funny feeling. John also said I probably shouldn't mention this on PT cause people would be upset, but I decided to thread it, since I was happy that I was able to help him in some way.
