forchancookieI caught a scary dog O_O Niku ran down the stairs to bark at the door this morning and I went to see what she was barking at. There was this big black dog in our yard pissing on a bush. As he moved away, I noticed that he was dragging a chain behind him. I didn't think that a person walking their dog would be doing it on a chain so I went out in my bathrobe and slippers to look around and maybe coax him over. There was no one in sight and when I approached his chain, he started growling at me o.o So I tried to talk to him and he just kept growling in a very intimidating manner. It's cold out, I was under dressed and he was unfriendly, so I retreated.
I decided to try to coax him over again, but with biscuits. He was across the street and I was still in my robe trying to get his attention and failing completely. Some guy jogged by and stopped. He was slightly more successful in coaxing the dog towards him, but it wouldn't go completely so the guy just jogged off. I went back inside.
Niku started barking at the door again so I ran downstairs and sure enough, that dog was under the porch. Despite my lack of slippers, I went out there to try and catch him again. He growled but I inched forward slowly and managed to step on his chain and pick it up. He was obviously just chained out in somebody's yards and left there. The chain was broken though, so that's how he slipped out. He doesn't have a collar and he's not friendly at all. I bet he's one of those dogs that isn't really a pet, they're just a possession. How sad.
I managed to chain him to the tree in our front yard so now he can't go wandering around the neighborhood getting into trouble. Honestly, I was kind of worried that a car would go by and catch his chain up in its tires and drag him under or something. What a way to go. But he's safe in our yard now, away from the road and the cars and hopefully his owner will come by and find him there in an hour or two. If not, we'll call animal control to come get him.
