he's draggin a leash attached to a choke collar!
... he let me catch him.

I called animal control. The officer just left with Sitka.
... they are getting a fine for a "dog at large".
I doubt he has a license so it will be a 250 dollar fine ...

I just feel like crap that I sent him to the pound!
I did tell the officer that I would post bail if he isn't claimed.
I'll find him a good home if it comes to that.
POOR Sitka!!

Bless you for coming to his rescue TWICE this week!

You do have to wonder if he pulled loose during a walk ... that MIGHT be the
honest explanation for the CHOKE collar and the dragging leash.
BUT - the owners have had enough time to buy him a NAME TAG for his collar ...
given his skill at escaping - I find it UNforgivable that he still has no tag!

WILL Animal Control really *call you* if he isn't claimed?
My worry would be someone would "forget" to call you if a problem develops.
(Maybe you could call AC and check on him in a day or two?)

Isn't there room for "just one more" beside your wood burner?
