Older Stray Shephard Eludes Doggy Dundee

G’day Mates! Alas, not all Doggy Dundee tales end happily. In the dark of this evening I thought I spied a shadow move down a side street of Siskiyou Boulevard in Ashland (Was walking back to my car where Chase was waiting for me to be done at the chiropractor’s).  Sure enough, it was an older German Shephard showing signs of some rear leg difficulties and with plenty of tuffed fur that needed grooming.

Finding stray dogs is never a problem, and catching them is usually not much of a problem for Doggy Dundee; Tonight, though, this particular stray dog was too elusive even for me. After tailing this stray German Shephard for awhile, he slowed and showed himself under a street lamp where he’d started munching something delectable that had been tossed aside by some littering person. I tried enticing the stray, but, unfortunately, he was too spooked, and I couldn’t get a hand close to him, much less a leash on him. He’d come close, but not close enough before scooting back into the darkness. Too bad, coz I could see he had an ID tag, so returning this pooch to his owner might have been easy. Hope he’s safe and someone can get this stray dog back to his owner, or he finds his way home. A dark stray dog walking across dark streets (and so near a main street) isn’t a good thing.
