Stray Dog
On the fifth of July I saw a strange dog near our house. Thinking it might be someone’s pet scared off by fireworks I tried to check for a tag but could not get close. A few days later it showed up inside our fenced yard! It is much smaller than our dogs so must have squeezed under a gate. We have been feeding it in hopes of gaining trust enough to catch it but so far not even close.
At least I see that it is a “he” which is a relief! He has learned to come for regular meals and will not run away as long as we don’t try to get too close. He is getting more relaxed every day but is still very afraid of people.

awww, he is adorable. Bless you for feeding him, hopefully he relaxes and lets you get near sometime soon! I can’t imagine how scared that poor guy is! At least it’s a boy though – and you don’t have to worry that he has puppies hidden in the woods somewhere though.

Yes, that was a major relief! Today my husband tossed him a milk bone and he took off like he was terrified of the movement. I want to teach him that human hands can feel good, but who knows when or if that can happen, and what in his past has brought him to this point.
