Subject: runaway or missing dogs
To add a gentler comment about lost dogs, I know stolen is another issue, if you have labs, spaniels, or any type of hunting breed or type do not let them run no matter how tempting.
These dogs are born to track a scent and catch what is on the end of it and when they get on a smell they can run for days and counties.
They need leashes and good fences. No matter how bonded they are to you their instinct takes over. PLEASE make sure you contain them well or it just leads to heartache.
