Chachi, It may not be that it was done on purpose ... we almost lost Julius once when he was young when he ran out the door when the pizza guy arrived. He didn't have a collar and tags on at the time so we are sooo lucky we got him back. The couple that turned him over to us could so easily have just taken off with him. We were so distraught but still could not find him until they pulled up in their car and asked if we were looking for a dog --- as we wandered around with flashlights in the middle of the night. The only time they don't have full sets of tags now is when they are taking a bath and the front is shut and locked! Of course he's gotten better about sticking around too.
Karen, Have patience. The rewards will be exceptional. God bless you for taking care of the little girl! |
