I don't know the dog, but can someone take him in and keep him safe and warm?

Can someone put out a makeshift shelter? The dog may use it. If the dog is friendly enough maybe there would be someone willing to take it to a vet or a shelter to be scanned for a micro-chip. I would hate to see this dog end up getting hit by a car. He looks like h may be wearing a color and definetly looks as if he had someone who cared about him.

I can't believe no one in this neighborhood does not care enough to take this dog in...really. Says a lot for the community. The dog obviously is very lost. The dog can be taken to the police station or to Animal Control rather than hit by a car or hurt.

Perhaps the dog is skittish and approaching it could send it running. Just be concerned; this isn't the place to be rude to the people that posted the pictures!

This poor dog is definitely not a stray. He has a collar and looks in really good health. I sure hope the owner knows about the Perry Hall Patch and will see their doggies pic on here. Thank God for me I have very caring neighbors. My dog is diabetic and blind and got out a week ago, because someone deliberately left the gate open. I was devastated, but thank God they knew that he belong to me and took very good care of him until my fiance was able to go across the street and get him. It breaks my heart to see stray dogs. I hope for the doggies sake his family will be reunited with her soon. I'm assuming it's a girl, because she is wearing a pink collar.

La lain, I think that Sally was speaking out of compassion,,,,,,,,,,it bothers her to see that dog lost like that,,,,,,,,, so she didnt mean to be harsh (did you Sally?),,,,,, Ihave rescued many a dog , right in front my house, and thru out the area, carrying a dog treat helps,,,,,,,,,,,, but its true sometimes they just run away from you, So Sally is just feeling the frustration of seeing a lost innocent pet roaming the streets hungry and cold,,,,,,,,,,,, if I see a stary I willtry to se if I can help it,, i will give it some water ( i carry a big bottle with me at all times, and some of my lunch :)

I work with two animal rescues and volunteer at a shelter. When you see the things I have seen and experience the things I have experienced, you tend to get a little tough at times. I am with Red Dolphin, I go out of my way to assist an animal in need whenever I can, and I have raised my five children to do the same. Two of my daughters are in veterinary medicine, again the stories are horrific. I know not everyone will go to such lengths to help an animal in need, it is so much easier to just turn your head, but thank you to people like Red Dolphin, what you do matters! There is a family hurting for that dog, hopefully there is another human out there to put their personal safety second and compassion first. Great pictures to work from :) I know, most people are just too busy in their lives to stop, I don't mean to be harsh, just passionate. I sent the pictures to the local vets. A dog that obviously cared for may be recognized. I have had luck doing this with stray dogs several times. Happy New Year.

you know it was vey nice of the patch folks to put this story on abou the lost dog,,,,,,,,, youdnt see that much any more, you use to be able to call the radio shows way back when,,,,,,,,,,and they would broadcast the specifics........ lots of times a dog that appears to be totally lost will go back home ... I miss my "shadow" he was a stray and he lived 8 yuears tilhe got cancer,,,,,,,,,, use to take him to snyder la. park,,,,,,,,,,,, and hed run all around but Id hook him up if I saw another doh walker arrive
