That must have been really scary... i laughed at the hot dog part though... only because my mom once chased out neighbors dog down the street while waveing a hot dog and yelling "here boy here boy" LOL that dog alwasy got out thank god he never got hurt. One time, the dog that my neighbor just had to put down, she had wandered away from home which she would NEVER do. They could leave their front door open and Terra would just lay there in the front yard not doing anything or barking at anyone. Even befor we had Simba and we used to leave the garage open Terra would wanderin in our house but thats as far as she would go.. .. i went searching threw the neighborhood for a good 2 hours on my bike. I finnally found her put a leash and collar on her and walked her and my bike home and i was at the complete different side of the neighborhood.
