A Nice Story

For the past few days, a little lost or abandoned dog was spotted several times hanging out in the large park that's adjacent to our property. We saw him in the park while we were there hiking, and tried to pick him up but he ran off. Several other people tried as well. My wife found people on Facebook posting about the dog and telling the same story.

Finally, a woman from the adjacent county--really pretty far away--saw the posts and went and caught the dog in a cage and took care of it. She spent most of her Saturday on that project. I was impressed that she just went and did it and was competent at the task. She baited the dog with stinky food--tuna fish and cat food--and caught him in a trap you'd use to catch skunks or raccoons. Now he has a chance to be reunited with his family if he was lost, or more likely to be adopted and cared for.
