We posted the lost dog notice on our homeowner's association's yahoo group. About 10:00 last night, we got a call from a neighbor on the other side of the subdivision that a strange dog was howling like crazy.
We searched the area as extensively as we could at 10:30pm, but couldn't locate him, even when we heard a couple of his howls.
About an hour later, another neighbor on the same street called us and told us that they were pretty sure they had our dog in their back yard. We rushed over with the crate, and sure enough, there he was, hidden under some bushes.
It took some cajoling and body blocking, but I did get him into the crate.
