2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | You did all you could do and you should be proud of that. There doesn't seem to be much more you can do at this point unless you put a dognapping plan in effect as suggested by Dblain earlier. But I wouldn't' t suggest doing that.

YT Addict | I just feel so horrible. I wish there was more I could do. I would never dognap it because I wouldn't want someone just to take my babies, but I would not be as irresponsible either. Its just a bad feeling knowing there is nothing you can do. At least not legally.

| I'm thinking they might switch things up...hopefully, this is an eye opener. Maybe you could write them a long letter, a heartfelt long letter about why you would like to take the pup.... or....if you happen to be walking down the road with a steak.....I just don't see how an unsecured dog running loose is not fair game for anyone riding by...this dog is in danger, he is definitely going to end up dead....I don't think I could let it go, infact; I've been there and I didn't let it go.

I've knocked on my neighbors doors many times trying to find a loose dog's home. I had no second thoughts about doing so. But if I lived in rural area and not know the neighbors.. I'd be more cautious. Again... I meant no disrespect to any Texans out there. | |

| Great that at least there is someone living there. You've done what you could do. I also feel for this little fella, but what can I say? Some people shouldn't have children... but do. That might seem lame, but what else is to say/do that wouldn't put you in a predicament?? Not sure |

| Dawn you owe me an apology, never ONCE did I suggest a dog napping plan. I offered several viable options based on the OP seeing a dog lying in the street and not 100% sure who the dog belonged to. I made it clear if she did pick up the dog to let the authorities know and have it scanned for a chip. How you could get dog napping from that is beyond me, but I find it insulting

YT 1000 Club Member | My apologies, I tend to try to read the post quickly, and often miss various points, but... This is hard to explain, but there are "territorial" Pack issues which I think are involved in this situation. I don't think that the little guy was is as much jeopardy/risk as one might think. When you get out in the country, and there are no "confined" areas, the importance and clarity of territorial boundaries (which may be rather small) are better defined to animals. I doubt if it would have crossed the road by itself, and I doubt if it was very far away from an area which/where it could protect itself. It's almost common place for a rural individual animal or Pack, to have found a location which is quite defensible against intrusion. Even the smallest within the Terrier Groups are formidable, when they can put their teeth between themselves and an aggressor and only concentrate on one avenue of attack. Also, ha, I think someone would have been hard pressed to catch that little guy if they had gotten out of their vehicle. Country raised Dogs just think a bit farther head than those raised in a safer (city/closed yard) environment. I just don't believe that the Dog is/was in any jeopardy or discomfort, which numerous other country animals are quite used to. One final comment on the "situation"... So many of us don't realize just how tough our guys really are. We feel so protective of them, just because they are small. As many of you know, I take my guys hunting (they were bread to do that) and when push comes to shove, they can (regardless of size) can hold their own extremely well. My Adult Male Sneakers frequently encounters a Male Possum twice his size, and kicks his butt on a regular basis. I know it's hard to visualize it, you just would have to see our guys in action to understand now formidable they can be. ---------------- Magnus, HA, it's ok to stereotype Texans, we don't mind that at all
