I don't think some people have their thinking caps on half the time. They may have just forgotten he was outside. Maybe they got distracted. I know I sometimes forget about Gabe the cat, when he is outside. He is pretty good about staying in the yard now, but every now and then he disappears - usually into the garage, but it scares the heck out of me. Dogs are more prone to wandering I suspect.

Anyway, my amazement is that they didn't seem too appreciative and they sort of took it for granted that he would reappear. There is an unlimited supply of dumb bells out there and you happened to have saved one (two) and their dog, this time!

Thanks for being such a good neighbor and dog lover.
