Prayers for a wandering pup

[Lady's Human]

It seems that for some reason, possibly due to the loss of a home after the flooding we had in CNY, someone either lost track of or abandoned a full grown Afghan hound.

He's been wandering the area, and no one has been able to catch him. He seems to be quite happily wandering and hunting, but his coat is badly matted and someone needs to get him before winter really sets in here. I saw him trotting down our street the other morning.

Prayers that he's caught and given a loving home.

Awww, Afghan hound! Please let LH help you. No goggie should be wandering in the cold.

Saying a prayer that he will let you or someone else catch him before th weather turn foul, especially so he can get help with his matted coat, poor thing! Plus given his likely coloring, we will pray that no hunter mistakes him for a deer ...

He's within 1/2 mile of the house, still wandering.

Might take a concerted effort of several people to get him/her. Can
you get a large trap & bait it with yummy dog food? Have you trying
calling to him when he gets close by? The worst thing is to chase after
him, he'll likely run in the oppisite direction. Prayers he calms down & accepts help from someone.

Hmmm, maybe some smelly wet dog food might lure him in enough to be captured? (Down back, of course, so Lady wouldn't see and bark him away ... ) Or a slow drive with a box of biscuits to rattle ...

THe problem with using a trap or a group effort to corral him would be the other rather more numerous canine denizens of the ridges he's running. We'd be far more likely to attract or capture a coyote.
