Also, I had a precious boston terrier get stolen out of my yard -years ago. So I started Driving around local parks on warm days - I found my pup being walked by a young man - I played it off like they had "rescued him" paid them "reward money" and walked away with my dog -
Sounds like I live in bad neighborhoods - I don't -idiots think they can make money off of bostons and boxers because they look like pitt bulls. 
Anyway, my point is, keep your eyes open - drive around - and carry a photo and the papers of your dog in your car. If spot your dog - be careful- and see if you can talk em out of it - by using the "reward money". |
That is a great strategy!
I found a little Miniature Schnauzer years ago that definitely was lost. It was going from garage to garage and looked so lost. I brought it home with me and it bonded right away with our Miniature Schnauzer. It was such a sweet female. I took pictures of her and posted flyers everywhere. I got tons of phone calls and filtered them by asking things like: What color collar did she have...etc. I had grown so attached to her that I would have had no problem keeping her. One day after having so many calls I received one that stopped me in my tracks. I did the normal questions to filter out people that just wanted to claim her. The person said, "If this is my dog go in and ask her what little girls do for diamonds." HUMMMM... I did,and she rolled over on her back and SPREAD EAGLE. No doubt this was their dog! Her husband taught her the trick and they came over and had a very HAPPY REUNION! LOL I was so happy to find the right owners!
