| 376.1 | my similar story | CLUSTA::STORM | | Mon Mar 13 1989 10:54 | 18 |
| I had a similar experience many years ago. I was hunting with a buddy
and a beagle come up to us and followed us around. This dog looked
like he had been out in the woods for several days. He was thin and
had no spring in his step. He made no attempt to hunt but followed us
very slowly. We hung around the general area for awhile and saw
no signs of another hunter. Since is was only mid-morning, I didn't
think the dog would look so beat if he was out hunting with his owner
for the morning.
The dog had a collar with the address on it. We quit hunting and took
the dog home. The lady of the house answered the door and sure enough,
the owner was out hunting with the dog. Opps.
To this day, I can't figure out how that dog got so far away from his
master at the plodding pace he had, or why he looked so bad.
Mark,

| .1 has the right idea. The way to avoid having your dog in this situation
is by having a tag with your name and address and phone number. The
dog's name should not be on the collar.
As for .0's question, I think the answer is to do the right thing and
try to find the owner by doing what you suggested. I think that if you
really are trying to find the owner of the dog and the owner sees you with
the dog....well...the owner will realize by your manner that you are
a "good guy" and not a dog theif.
If you had my dog and we met up and you told me that you were concerned
about the dog being lost....all the while looking me in the eye, I'd
probably thank you about a hundred times and give you a rabbit from
my pouch.

| Yea , I kind of agree with Brett. If my dog gets far enough away
from me that I can't find him, then I'd be glad as hell if you brought
him home or called me.

re .2
I agree with everything you said, but why should I not put my dogs
name on his collar?

Re.5: Yep, that's it. Placing your dog's name on its collar makes it
easier for a thief to steal and sell your dog.
Anyone who wants to help return a dog to its owner only needs the
owner's phone number.

I can kinda see your point, but I really don't think it makes much
of a difference if you don't put the dog's name on the collar.
If someone is going to steal a dog I don't think they are going
to care what it's name is.
